DeVeil

Hide what you don't want on YouTube. For as long as you choose.

DeVeil is a Chrome extension. Tell it the words and channels you want to avoid, and those videos are veiled. One click reveals any of them.

What it does

Hide by intent

Hide a topic for a day, a week or a season. Filters can end on their own, and you can pause or delete one any time.

Focus mode

Flip it around: list what you do want to watch, and everything else steps out of the way.

Veiled, not deleted

A hidden video becomes a quiet card in the same place. Reveal it, or restore everything at once. Nothing is removed for good.

Private by design

No account, no analytics, no servers. Your filters and counts are kept on your device and never sent anywhere.

Optional switches: hide Shorts, a best-effort check for AI-generated videos, a best-effort check for adult content (these two use short word lists on your device and can miss some or flag some by mistake), and a doom-scroll alert.
