It all started with this thread on Google's support forum: When a
parent said that he is helpless and his kid is just kept crying and
screaming because of the content on YouTubeKids, and he asked me if I
can create a tool to block videos by keyword or tag. And when Later
YouTube Forum maintainer deleted mine and other parents comments and
locked the thread, I decided to create FilterTube which is opensource with MIT license.

Right now I have around 110 users (105+ on Chrome alone) and got great feedback and even demand for an iPad version :)

My first version video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2EtLkTwqRw&t=1s
I used Windsurf for the initial part to extract the tags from
YouTube content cards and used claude + codex to code and antigravity
for a better UI and website design filtertube.in
Right now you can install and try FilterTube on Chrome, Brave, Edge browser -

and on Firefox and Opera from the GitHub release page -
https://github.com/varshneydevansh/FilterTube/releases/tag/3.0.5
I have plans to integrate local ML based solution to filter based
on semantic and similar relation content so that user can be assured to
never see a related concept content ever again.
