Hey PH ๐
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:
๐ก 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.
โฉ 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.
๐ Content Density Meter Color-coded badge (cyan โ red) shows real content percentage per video. Channel-level scoring with a rolling 20-video window. You'll never click a clickbait video again.
๐ Language Blocking 2.0 Block videos in 22+ Unicode scripts. Non-Latin detection, title-only filtering, persistent config. Rewritten to prevent browser freezes.
๐บ 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) โ audit every line
Zero telemetry โ 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:
Download from GitHub โ Extract
chrome://extensions โ Enable Developer Mode โ Load Unpacked
Open YouTube. Done.
