Violentmonkey userscripts
YouTube Video Age and Category Filter
A powerful userscript that enhances your YouTube browsing experience by automatically hiding old or unwanted videos with a sleek, modern interface.
Instead of just making videos disappear, this script applies a stylish "frosted glass" blur effect over filtered thumbnails, with a clear badge indicating why the video was hidden. It also provides distinct borders to track your watch status at a glance.
Features
- Modern "Frosted Glass" Overlay: Hides unwanted videos using an elegant blur effect, keeping your feed clean without being jarring.
- Informative Badges: Each hidden video displays a clear badge in the corner, so you always know why it was filtered.
- Filtered by age: OLD (365 days)
- Filtered by category: MUSIC
- Clear Visual Indicators for Watched Status: Uses colored borders to track video progress:
- Green Border: New video, not filtered, and completely unwatched.
- Purple Border: Video is partially watched.
- Red Border: Video has been fully watched.
- Clickable Overlays: Hidden videos can still be opened with a single click on the overlay, which also prevents the annoying hover-to-play feature on thumbnails.
- Highly Customizable: Easily tweak settings like video age, categories, colors, and the blur intensity directly from the Violentmonkey dashboard.
- Future-Proof Updates: The script is designed to safely add new configuration options in future updates without overwriting your existing settings.
