Description from extension meta

Single-button resolution to quickly mark YouTube videos and playlists as not interested.

Image from store Not Interested!
Description from store 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!

  • (2025-06-15) Madison Salisi Ignacio: Super useful if you want YouTube to stop reccomending you a certain topic
  • (2025-06-13) sneed: Godsend. Very easy to use and very helpful. Another review said you have to hover over the title for it to work but that's not the case for me (maybe it was fixed?). Either way, thank you for creating this.
  • (2025-05-26) pillowdo: it works, but you need to click on the "Not Interested" key bind while hovering the title of the video, not the thumbnail.
  • (2025-04-26) Shawn Updegraff: Awesome. Gives some control back to the masses. I only wish it was more "1 shot" and would select the reason why. Ideally, have 2 hot keys: 1 for "not interested: already watched", second for "not interested, didn't like". Other than that, thanks for the help!
  • (2025-03-04) Vitaliy Parytskyy: To all, if app stops working (Crome update) just reinstall extension. As for the app, it's a must have if you love to watch videos on Youtube. A lot of poopoo video suggestions, this one will take care of it with a simple shortcut. Cheers!
  • (2025-02-20) Dustin Zahn: No longer working😱
  • (2024-11-30) Michael Belew: As of this morning, 11/20/24, it looks as if YouTube made some changes and the extension is no longer working.,
  • (2024-09-17) Jort: works, change your language to english if it only opens the menu for you
  • (2024-07-18) Seattle.Eastside.Aerials: To the developer, this is a great functional program and it has worked flawlessly. My only gripe with it is that my experience with it was not too user friendly. Using keyboard binds instead of clicking something with the mouse requires using both hands instead of the one holding the mouse, although I understand programmatically it may be easier than making UI changes to youtube.com. Second thing was that I am not fond of the requirement to hold either Alt or Ctrl with a alphabet letter to trigger the ignore. This could be remedied with allowing any keybind, whether by letters, numbers, symbols, even mouse buttons? Minor thing, the tab that has this text uses a color combination that is unreadable: "Not Interested! Easily mark YouTube videos and playlists as Not interested. Binding: Alt+Z You can change the keyboard binding for this extension in chrome://extensions/shortcuts Following a recent YouTube update, homepage videos will highlight in the area you need to hover to mark the video as Not Interested!"
  • (2024-07-12) Tom Schi: It is sooooo great and useful, thanks a lot!
  • (2024-03-11) Xaxa XA: It just opens the option to mark it as not interested. Would be better if you could select a bunch of videos, Press alt & q and they all be flaged as not interested. So rgn it doesnt rly help that much.
  • (2024-03-07) Scott Cornwell: It works, you have to hover on the part BELOW the thumbnail though or it won't work. It will show small text in red that says "Not Interested? Alt+Q" when you are hovering on the right part.
  • (2023-12-07) Jay Alp: i did alt+q 100 times and it did nothing
  • (2023-09-29) Ethan: using this on every single video in my home page it works

  • (2023-07-22) Lion: 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.
