DeclutterTube

A collection of uBlock Origin filter lists to remove pointless and UI cluttering "features" from YouTube, YouTube Music and YouTube Studio

How do I install this?

This is NOT a standalone program or extension. Downloading this alone will do NOTHING. You are REQUIRED to install uBlock Origin.

• You can get it from this fansite https://ublockorigin.com/ and add it to your browser.

• Left click the icon on your top bar (Pictured is Chromium but it's the same on Firefox)

• Next click the gear icon
  \

• Click "Filter Lists"
  

• Scroll right to the bottom until you see "Import". Click where it says "> Import"
  

• Copy the "Raw Filters" section from > This Website < (Psst. Blue text means you can click it)

• Then simply copy and paste them into the box. Please be aware that some filters are completely optional. Look below to see which filters you want

What even are these filters?

IDontNeedNoHelp Removes the help and feedback options from YouTube and YouTube Studio [Known to cause issues] *3

DenerdPanel Removes all debugging features from YouTube's right click menu [Known to cause issues] *6

NoPanel Removes the right click panel from the YouTube player. Loop controls now require an extra right click. Using this in conjunction with "DenerdPanel" is redundant [Known to cause issues] *6

NoCopyright Removes the copyrighted music card from the description (No, This filter does NOT make you exempt from copyright infringement)

IOnlyWantComments Removes the mentions tab from YouTube Studio

NoHate Removes the "Held For Review" tab in YouTube Studio

NoAudioLib Removes the Audio Library button from YouTube Studio (It's intended for copyright free music, But I've been claimed by music from it. So it's useless)

PlayThatOneAgainJohnny Removes the progress bar from videos you've already watched

RadioYoureJokingRight Removes the "Radio" or "Mix" recommended playlist [Known to cause issues] *5

IDontNeed2ChapterSections Removes the large chapter option at the bottom of the description. This does NOT remove it from the ACTUAL (Manually typed by the Youtuber) chapters or the chapters on the progress bar

ReadingIsForNerds Removes the transcript section from the description

NotAGamer Removes the YouTube Gaming section on videos in the descriptions

WhyDoesTheTimeStatusCoverTheThumbnail Removes the time status (aka. How long the video is) from thumbnails to prevent covering important information

Known issues

Please be aware that some of these filters may be broken or contain duplicate filters. I'll fix these as soon as I find them or they get reported

*1

This filter currently causes playlist features to go missing. I'm finding a way to fix this

*2

This filter acts differently on different channels for some reason, In some cases it hides Playlists and the About section. I'm currently trying to find a way around this

*3

Also removed the settings tab from the left-hand side bar (But there's another one in the account dropdown, So it isn't a problem)

*4

Causes cards on the top right to become unclickable Cause is currently unknown

*5

This removes an entire row from the main page and POTENTIALLY other issues. But afaik, it isn't TOO bad. Additionally, I can't figure out how to JUST remove the mix as it seems to keep coming back at random. Another issue is removing a few recent videos from every YouTube channel.. UGH!! Cause is currently unknown

*6

Both deletes or removes options from the settings in the video player. It also removes any qualities under 480p as well as Playback Speed. Currently trying to find a way to fix this

*7

Causes the "Channels" section on channels to be hidden Cause is currently unknown (However, this is potentially because Youtube is currently reworking their UI and only some accounts have gotten this update)
