장윤익 2025-10-14: I'm very, very satisfied with this app! I was able to delete videos I'd already watched from the search bar! However, it doesn't work with YouTube Shorts. Please make it work with Shorts too!
Julian West 2025-09-10: Doesn't work as of Sep 2025

Mahmood Gamal 2025-05-02: not working. great idea tho
Matthew Wilson 2025-04-23: Doesn't seem to work. I'm on the latest Brave browser. I love the options compared to "competitors", but they don't seem to function at the moment.
Marco R 2025-04-06: Does absolutely nothing for me. Removed.
Damo 2025-01-29: Useless, doesn't do anything.

Alexander D. 2024-08-02: stopped working. had to switch to ekcdnnkolgkikkhbbjcabcjdibfbafbl (in chrome store, Hide YouTube Watched Videos)
Rocket Pak 2024-08-01: Stopped working
cresscelesta 2024-07-31: Was fantastic, but stopped working for me.
rshpaner 2024-07-29: Has it stopped working for anyone else this week? :(
The Sim Architect 2024-07-27: Really great extension but did it stop working today? I am seeing tons of already watched videos on YouTube's home page. 🤔 Thanks for the time it worked. 🙏🏻 Quick update, it worked again for a little while, now it stopped working again. 😬
Lenaattori 2024-07-20: Extension keeps turning off and settings keep resetting. Not really that useful when i have to remember to manually turn it on everytime.
alex atchley 2024-07-16: for me it works fine anyone that is having an issue you have to enable hiding the videos in the settings of the extension
Роман Заостровский 2024-06-02: Nice extention, but can't disable for MY OWN PAGE in settings...
Noodles #FreeUkraine 2024-05-24: Used to work great, but hasn't been updated since 2022 and it seems the author lost interest. Now, many recently watched videos just keep showing up as if the extension wasn't even running.
Jarrod Christman 2024-05-12: Works perfectly. Latest Chrome and Youtube.

Taru Hirvonen 2024-04-25: Great extension but it went broken and started hiding all watched videos from individual channel pages despite having that setting off.
Christian Lane 2024-02-12: Great extension, if you could add a feature to disallow videos under or over a certain view range that would be amazing. I keeping weirdo VODs now with 2 views since they tweaked the algorithim to copy tik tok i think
me 2024-01-29: It was hard to get working, but once I did, it works amazingly well! Restart browser and you can only toggle the hide setting in the extension while viewing a youtube page. Otherwise it doesn't give you the option to "Hide Videos"
Kincayd 2024-01-07: I never leave reviews but I felt forced to because of all the recent negative reviews. I took the time to give it a shot because one comment (buried beneath the negative reviews) mentioned that it requires you to "enable" the plugin before it works. I took the time to enable the plugin and it actually does work and my entire youtube viewing experience has been pleasantly improved. I highly recommend installing it and going into the plugin options to tweak it to your liking before leaving a negative review.
Scar Z 2023-12-05: dont work at all
Douglas Copeland 2023-10-31: Seems to still work on the homepage, but appears to have stopped working when letting youtube autoplay. I've been ina loop of watched videos for a while now if im not managing it directly

Dvasa Vertik 2023-09-15: Sort of works as in it's hiding the videos you've watched before but still leaves an empty space where the videos originally appeared. So it doesn't remove them from the window at all to replace them with fresh content I haven't seen yet, it's only a cosmetic fix.

Kieran Bacon 2023-06-06: It does not work, as in, its clear that videos still appear that show partial or almost fully watched.

Chimerat 2023-03-22: Used to work just fine, but it appears to have stopped working (either in whole or in part) sometime in the last day.

Russell Jackson 2023-01-19: 素晴らしい。 1％に設定すると全部消せる。
Sons of Anakin 2023-01-07: Does exactly what it says on the tin. Once I figured out how to switch it ON, it worked great. It really should be ON by default, it'd probably save all the negative reviews from people who couldn't get it to work.
