Features
Disable the endless loop, kill the background-audio bleed when you scroll, and auto-advance to the next Short when one ends.
Fixes free-spinning mouse wheels (Logitech MX Master and friends) overshooting or bouncing — every flick advances exactly one Short.
On Shorts, tap L to like, D to dislike, S to subscribe — and they never fire while you're typing a comment.
Hide channels or title keywords / /regex/ from home, search, and the sidebar — removed before they render, with no flicker.
Hover any video for a block button, or block a channel straight from the Shorts player — it fires YouTube's own "Don't recommend" too.
Restore the creator's original audio track (no auto-dubbing) and the original video title on the watch page — not YouTube's machine translation.
Cycle the player through −90°, +90°, and back with a click, on both watch pages and Shorts. It resets automatically on the next video.
No accounts, no servers, no tracking. TameTube requests only the storage permission and runs solely on youtube.com.
How It Works
Install TameTube from the Chrome Web Store. It runs only on youtube.com and needs no account.
Open the options page to add channels and keyword / /regex/ rules, and flip features on or off from the toolbar popup.
Unwanted videos never render, Shorts behave, and your audio stays original — every time you browse.
Free, local-only, and open source. No account required.
