Simply hover over a video's details and press the hotkey to mark the video as not interested. Default hotkey ALT+Q.
Don't forget that you can change extension hotkeys at the following webpage: chrome://extensions/shortcuts
Currently only works in English.
Following a recent YouTube update, homepage videos will highlight in the area you need to hover to mark the video as Not Interested!
# Changelog:
Version 2.3
- Fixed a permissions issue that had buttons appearing unnecessarily on music.youtube.com.
- Adjusted some of the CSS styling to make it fit better in some windows.
Version 2.2
As of V2.2 you can now remove videos from a playlist using the same hotkey. Removing videos from your watch later playlist just got easier!

- (2023-09-29) ika: using this on every single video in my home page it works
- (2023-09-08) Pavel Wishnewsky: Currently not working. Just opens context-menu from the video.
- (2023-07-22) Ewe: One thing that i wanted to add is that if you are not using youtube in english, this extension doesn't work. It just open up the menu without interacting with the not interested button.
- (2023-06-15) Phu Ngo: Just wanted to let you know, I do have version 1.6 installed with the latest Chrome. It only works if I hover over the title of the video. Does not work if I hover over the thumbnail. Thanks for putting this out.
- (2023-06-08) Taq Seorangpun: Was fine in the beginning, but does not work any more. Sometimes it still works after clicking Alt+Q 30 times, but most of the time it just doesn't work.
- (2023-05-08) Isaac: I love it so far but as some others have mentioned I would love for there to be an option for also selecting the "tell use why?" reason with "I have already watched the video", that would save even more clicks
- (2023-03-27) Borg Borgassimilation: I used to like the ability to just click the extension and I could have the entire page of videos checked as not interested. Having to do it one at a time is painful.Please add the ability to not interested on the entire page. This is a huge downgrade.
- (2023-03-09) Night Kobun: I love how quickly I can mark videos! Every work around I've been using has just added the button to the video thumbnail, which while great, is usually very small and takes time to line the cursor up with. I still like using a button as hot-keys are a bit counter intuitive for me, but the added speed and precision is worth it. I'm not able to use the "tell us why" option for some reason, which I like to use for videos I've already seen; so that could be improved among other things people have mentioned.
- (2022-12-23) Will: Another feature I can see massively improving recommendations is being able to hide content from verified channels, this would give you the option to hide content from mainstream news channels that plague search results with repetitive cookie cutter content. If you try to search for any trending news story or major event, independent channels/journalists have no chance of being seen, their videos are always the last to appear regardless of popularity. Raw footage is usually unobtainable, and your news always comes with a grain of bias. No surprise that YouTube scrapped their "broadcast yourself" motto. Simple and brilliant extension, 40-60% of YouTube's recommendations these days seem to be irrelevant/featured content from "trending", topics you show no interest in, videos you've already watched or short lazy meme content to compete with TickTock. The "Not interested" button only hides the video from your home page, it doesn't make any changes to the algorithm and will continue to bombard you will similar content so being able to rapidly hide them with a hotkey is brilliant.
- (2022-11-04) Михаил Русанов: Please add "don't recommend channel" option
- (2022-10-22) Matthias Otto: Yay! Finally can take control of my youtube recommendations again without spending hours
- (2022-09-01) Adim: This is great. Please add "Do Not Recommend Channel" too as additional feature.
- (2022-06-23) Kayra Esen: No longer works, opens the tab, but doesnt click on not interested
- (2022-04-23) Joric: I need a large button to click, not a keyboard shortcut.
- (2022-04-14) J Miller: The worst part of clearing annoying videos is how tedious this is. Now you can clean clean your recommendations in seconds. Love it.
- (2021-11-09) Mateusz Krzyszycha: work well, nice
