Maker's First Comment for v12.0.0

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.
