YtcFilter - YouTube Chat Filter
- Extension status: Featured
- Live on Store
The most powerful and intuitive YouTube chat filter extension.
Capture messages from YouTube chat based on filter rules.
YtcFilter works alongside the standard YouTube chat and is compatible with third-party addons and websites such as Holodex. Many types of filters are supported, including:
- Author roles (Moderator, Member, Channel Owner, Verified, etc.)
- TL tags ([EN], [JP], etc.)
- Message types (superchats, membership messages, etc.)
- Text filters (contains, starts with, ends with, equals, regex, etc.)
Filtered chat messages are archived into persistent storage. Message logs can be easily imported/exported as text files, json files, or screenshots.

Doesn't work, not sure why but no amount of tinkering in the settings does anything and there are no error messages.
it won't even filter messages for me anymore, my old filter settings don't even catch mod or channel owner messages ://
The new version at first wouldn't except my previous filters. Eventually it worked, but the extension refuses to save chats indiscriminately. Now it doesn't work full stop; I can't access the settings or my filters.
It is a very useful tool when I watch streams on YouTube~ Thank you so much to develop this! May I have a suggestion...Is it possible to catch the Membership gifting by your plug-in? It would help a lot if it can be added!
Can I go back to the old version? He can't grab any chat room logs at all, and I don't even know how to configure it to grab basic SC messages.
New version 3 has made some unwanted changes. First, It doesn't open up automatically. I have to hit Embed every time to get it open. Second, it's extremely annoying when you hit clear the text that you have to CONFIRM it every time. I hit clear so just do it. Third, get rid of the stupid blue box that appears when you have no messages in the box yet. It's distracting and completely unnecessary. Version 3 is a downgrade overall.
A useful extension. Started getting random out of memory errors today, they went away as soon as I turned off the ytcfilter. Waiting for the fix.
I thought this extension would allow me to filter chats. For example in You Tube or Twitch it should recognize a keyword then filter that particular comment. It cannot do this. I want to use it to prevent spammers by filtering their comments based on certain strings used such as "XYZ".

A life saver! Thank you very much for the hard work. Make the live chat experience much better.

I only use a couple of the presets it comes with, but does everything I want it to. Seems powerful if you want to dig in to customize it. Good!

Nice extension that allows me to filter english only chat and only tagged chat separately with the original chat going on too fast.

This extension is exactly what I needed to properly enjoy Vtuber or other YT streams. Amazing work friend.

Works well, but i'm having an issue where i can't set a Channel Default Preset for Amelia Watson's channel specifically. Dunno why but for her channel the button's just greyed out for me

I find this really useful. In JP streams, I filter for translations and in EN streams, I filter out the JP comments and use Chrome to auto translate them. All previous issues I have had seem to be fixed with later versions.

edit: dev is great, quickly pushes out fixes for random things that youtube feels like breaking haha great stuff, although youtube must've busted something recently, because ytcfilter doesn't automatically load anymore like it used to. "Click here if it doesn't load properly" is the only way to get it to load, which is a bit annoying, but not really a major issue.

I relly love this, but please do something about the error when the filter fail to load since the recent update.

Can you please stop updating the extension?? Every single time this extension updates everything goes down hill... now you can't edit filters from the chat box, you need to go to pop out mode, which is the most unstable thing I've ever seen, even more unstable than my ex. every single time you add a filter it has 50% chance to crash, and guess what, every time it crashes it stops working indefinitely, and restarting the browser won't help, hell not even restarting the PC would help either, you need to remove the entire extension, reinstall it again and repeat the entire process from the beginning. for the love of god, stop it, it was functional. This is the fifth time btw I've removed it and reinstall again... Thanks for the update

Excellent extension. Issue going on with it for me in particular. When I use ytcFilter I am getting the following message " Chat disconnected. Please wait while we try to reconnect you. Unable to connect to chat. Please try again later. " I also use LiveTL, LiveJimaku and Chat Selector for YouTube Live. I isolated the issue to LiveTL and ytcFilter being incompatible when using one or the other. Not sure what is causing the interference but it just started happening today as of 1/20/2020 8:am or so EST. Thank you for the extension.

I love it, one problem is that it keeps forgetting my profiles so I have to import my settings every time I join a stream. Worked perfectly well previously before the update.

Works great, especially now that the permissions issue has been fixed. Still, I think the styling could be made to stand out less. Also, the settings and filters should be combined into one drawer.

This addon is open-source, so you can check out by yourself. From the changelog(https://github.com/RomainLK/ytc-filter/blob/master/changelog.md): "I don't know what happened but I have not requested history permission, only tabs was added, and even this will be removed in this version." So the author removed it. Everyone please upgrade to 2.0.2.

Edit: Looking at GitHub, it looks like this was an accident and will be fixed in the next release, I'm changing my review to 3 stars and will wait for the next release. Previous review: App suddenly requires access to browser history without explanation or even an apparent version update, removing.
