Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Dipto, the creator of Clify. This started as a personal project to solve my own YouTube addiction. Like many of you, I'd open YouTube to watch one tutorial and somehow emerge 2 hours later having watched 47 Shorts, 12 reaction videos, and zero actual learning. Sound familiar? 😅 After building the first version for myself and sharing it with friends, the feedback was overwhelming: "Can it block clickbait?" "Does it work in my language?" "Can I see stats?" So I kept building. And today, Clify has evolved into something I'm really proud of: 🇧🇩 35+ languages - Hindi, Bengali, Arabic, English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and more 🎯 500,000+ videos blocked - by our community of 5,000+ users 🔒 100% private - everything happens locally in your browser 💝 Completely free - no premium, no subscriptions, no tracking The one feature I'm most excited about: Multi-language keyword blocking. Type "movie|فيلم|फिल्म|সিনেমা" once, and Clify blocks film content in English, Arabic, Hindi, and Bengali simultaneously. Perfect for multilingual viewers! What I'd love your feedback on: • What distractions bother you most on YouTube? • What languages should we add next? • Any features you'd like to see? I'll be here all day responding to every comment. Let's make YouTube a more focused place together! 🚀 #ProductHunt #YouTube #Productivity #ChromeExtension

Hey PH 👋

I'm Dipto, and I built Clify because I was tired of opening YouTube to learn and ending up 2 hours deep in Shorts about nothing.

Clify is a free, open-source Chrome extension that strips YouTube down to what matters.

Here's what v12.0.0 ships:

🛡 3-Layer Ad Blocker Network rules block ~90 ad domains. DOM removal kills 120+ ad selectors every 800ms. fetch/XHR interception overrides ad API calls. No external filter lists. No dependencies.

⏩ SponsorBlock Integration Auto-skips sponsors, outros, self-promo across 9 categories. 3-URL fallback chain, 5-second timeout, priority for verified segments. Progress bar overlay on the timeline.

📊 Content Density Meter Color-coded badge (cyan → red) shows real content percentage per video. Channel-level scoring with a rolling 20-video window. You'll never click a clickbait video again.

🌍 Language Blocking 2.0 Block videos in 22+ Unicode scripts. Non-Latin detection, title-only filtering, persistent config. Rewritten to prevent browser freezes.

📺 PiP Button Native picture-in-picture button injected into YouTube player controls. Survives SPA navigation.

+ Channel Blocking, Keyword Blocker (5000+), Volume Boost, Scheduled Blocking, 32-language Glassmorphism Dashboard.

Why it's different:

  • 100% open source (MIT) — audit every line

  • Zero telemetry — no analytics, no accounts, everything local

  • Only external request: SponsorBlock API for segment data

  • Works on 40+ browsers including Kiwi and Quetta on Android

How to install:

  1. Download from GitHub → Extract

  2. chrome://extensions → Enable Developer Mode → Load Unpacked

  3. Open YouTube. Done.
