Is it really free?
Yes, completely free. Install from the Chrome Web Store and use it forever. No account, no subscription.
How does the filtering work?
ContextTube uses client-side keyword filtering to show or hide recommendations based on your current mode. No YouTube API, no data collection — everything runs in your browser.
Does it work with my existing YouTube account?
Yes. It works on top of your existing account without changing anything on YouTube's side. Your history and subscriptions stay exactly as they are.
Can I add my own keywords?
The current version uses preset category keywords for each mode. Custom keyword support is planned for a future update.
Will it slow down my browser?
No. It's a lightweight extension that only runs on YouTube pages and does all filtering locally in your browser.
