Channel names on YouTube lists become links again

YouTube often shows the channel name as plain text in your History, suggested videos, and playlists — so you can’t jump to the creator with one click. Clickable Channels for YouTube turns those names back into real links. Click the channel → open their page What it does: • History, suggested videos, and lists — channel names are clickable • Playlists & Watch Later — on by default; turn off in the toolbar if you prefer plain text there Made for people who browse playlists and History all day.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Alex Y, maker of Clickable Channels for YouTube.
I built this because YouTube kept showing channel names as plain text in places I use every day — especially History and playlists — and I was tired of searching for a creator I’d already watched.

Happy to answer questions — and if you try it, I’d love to know which YouTube page you use most (History, Watch Later, live chat, etc.).
This is one of those tiny fixes that instantly makes YouTube less annoying 😄
I genuinely forgot channel names used to be clickable everywhere until they suddenly weren’t.
Installed it mainly for Watch Later and History, and now navigating between creators feels natural again. Love that it stays lightweight and doesn’t try to collect data or spam with popups.
Also appreciate the attention to weird YouTube edge cases — especially playlists and sidebar recommendations. Super useful extension.
@calcixnet Thank you — this made my day. History and Watch Later were my main use cases too, and I had the same “weren’t these always clickable?” reaction.
Really glad it feels natural again, and that the no-tracking, no-nag approach works for you. Playlists and the sidebar were the fiddly parts, so it’s great to hear those hold up.
Thanks for installing and for taking the time to comment.
@mutuh Haha yeah, exactly 😄
It’s one of those things you don’t notice until YouTube removes it and suddenly the whole site feels awkward.
Appreciate the attention to detail btw — a lot of extensions fix one page and break somewhere else, but this one feels seamless everywhere I’ve used it so far. Glad I found it.
