Extension to Remove Irrelevant Videos from YouTube Search
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
YouTube search results often include shelves such as "People also watched" that have little to do with what you typed. Ultimate Adblocker doesn't hide those shelves; in search, its "Hide Shorts" switch removes Shorts and its ad blocking hides sponsored results. YouTube's own Filters button, at the top of the results, helps the most: set the type to Video and choose a length or upload date to cut the results down to what you asked for.
