About Youtube Watch Guard
YouTube Watch Guard
YouTube is designed to show you recommendations on the basis of your watching history. It doesn't give you enough control to help you fine tune the recommendations consciously. YouTube Watch Guard helps you regain conscious control by filtering out undesirable recommendations so you can focus on videos that matter to you.
Key Features:
Topic Exclusion List: Add, edit, or remove topics you don’t want to see. The extension uses semantic matching to detect related recommendations and hide them automatically.
Flexible Filtering: Choose whether unwanted videos should be removed entirely or simply disabled. Adjust the similarity threshold for fine-tuned results.
Remove Shorts Section: Eliminate YouTube Shorts from your home feed, search results, and watch page.
“Not Interested” Automation: Bulk-mark up to 10 videos as Not Interested for categories you’d like to avoid, helping reset your feed faster.
With YouTube Watch Guard, you decide what stays and what goes. Create a healthier YouTube experience tailored to your intent.
