Better Subscriptions for YouTube™ Extension

This plugin adds a toggle to the YouTube Subscription Feed that allows users to toggle whether or not they want watched videos to show up in the feed.
The aim of this is to make navigating the subscription feed much easier and intuitive.

Current features:
- Hide videos that are marked as WATCHED on Subscriptions Feed, YT Home and Channel Videos page
- Mark videos as WATCHED to hide them from feed
- Mark all as WATCHED
- Hide videos in subscription feed automatically, once you start watching them
- Hide Premieres until they are available to watch
- Hide Shorts automatically
- Hide empty sections (Today, Yesterday, Last Week, etc)
- Collapse sections to navigate to older videos more easily
- Show videos that have been hidden
- When hidden videos are shown, unmark videos as WATCHED to show them in feed again
- Settings page with configurable options

Silver S (ID: 000000d9b4567e42) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/04/2024 Works great! A must have for me personally to use Youtube - so I can clean out videos I don't want to watch while it also removes watched videos. This way I can keep a clean subscription box and it's always easy to see if there have been new videos.

S (ID: 000000ffc384bb4f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/03/2023 Used this for YEARS. Whatever update you pushed out today has DESTROYED my entire youtube homepage screen, NOTHING is visible anymore, as in, every single thumbnail of every single video gets removed. Removing this extension and suddenly youtube homepage is back to how it should be.

larsn0va (ID: 000000f67ac3ac2a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/31/2023 Same as the last two reviews. Love the extension but as of 2023-08-29 it is broken, so giving a review for visibility. Edit: Fixed 2023-08-31. Great turnaround.
