AI-content filter for YouTube
Stop watching videos made by robots.
One click to hide all AI-generated content on YouTube. Works on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
Why AI-content filtering matters right now
Last week, a Safari-only extension called Weedout hit 176 points on Hacker News with 75 comments. The sentiment was unmistakable: people are exhausted by AI-generated videos flooding their YouTube feed. The original tool hides videos that YouTube itself labels as "Altered or synthetic content." But it only works on Safari — leaving Chrome, Firefox, and Edge users with no way to filter this noise.
Existing solutions like SponsorBlock or Unhook solve adjacent problems — skipping sponsors or hiding the entire sidebar. None of them address the specific, growing issue of AI-produced media. You can't tell YouTube "show me less synthetic content" because that toggle doesn't exist. The only workaround is manually checking every video's description for the AI label, which is tedious and ineffective across a busy subscription feed.
This is the perfect moment to act. The HN thread proves demand is real and vocal. The creator of Weedout explicitly chose Safari, leaving an 80% browser-market gap. Meanwhile, YouTube's AI-labeling is becoming more consistent, giving us a reliable signal to filter on. We're building the cross-browser answer that users are already asking for in comment threads — right now, before any big player fills the void.
How It Works
Install the extension
Add FilterFlux to Chrome, Firefox, or Edge directly from the store. No account, no configuration — it starts working immediately after a single page refresh.
We read YouTube's own AI label
Our content script watches for the "Altered or synthetic content" tag that YouTube places on video cards and detail pages. We use that official signal — no guesswork or heuristic detection.
AI videos disappear from your feed
Any video carrying the AI label is instantly hidden from search results and recommendations. You'll also see a subtle banner on video pages that slip through, plus a session counter showing how many AI videos you've avoided.
What you get
Automatic hiding
YouTube says it's AI. We hide it for you. No more manual scanning of video descriptions or wondering if that "documentary" is actually a synthetic voiceover. The label is already there — we just act on it.
Privacy-first by design
No data collection. No accounts. No tracking. The code is open source and doesn't phone home. We don't even know you installed it — because we built it to be fully local and anonymous.
Cross-browser ready
Safari version exists. Now available for Chrome & Firefox. We're also compatible with Edge and other Chromium browsers. One install covers your whole desktop experience — no more being stuck with a browser you didn't choose.
