You’ve felt this. Every single time.
The 15-minute waste
You click the top result. 15 minutes later you realise it was vague, outdated, and sponsored. Back to search.
The clickbait trap
Bright thumbnails, screaming titles, all-caps promises. The video itself? A 12-minute filler with one tip stolen from a Reddit comment.
The endless retry
Open. Skip. Close. Open. Skip. Close. The algorithm wins, your evening is gone, and you still haven't learned the thing.
A Quality Score on every result. Before you click.
Search. Score. Sort. The best video is on top before you scroll once.
Quality Score on every video
A 1–10 score built from like ratio, view velocity, and viewer engagement. Visible before you click anything.
One-click re-ranking
Hit Sort by Quality and the best video jumps to the top. No more scrolling, no more guessing.
Clickbait filter
Hide anything below your quality threshold. Goodbye 3-out-of-10 thumbnails screaming for your click.
No black box. Here’s exactly how we score.
Like / Dislike Ratio
The strongest signal. When people who watched a video rate it highly, that means something. We use real like and dislike data — including restored dislike counts — to build this signal.
View Velocity
Views accumulated over time. A video that racks up views quickly relative to its age is resonating with people right now. Not clickbait that peaked early and died.
Engagement
How strongly viewers react relative to how many people watched. Likes measured against views — a video that genuinely resonates earns more reaction per view than one that just got pushed by the algorithm.
We deliberately ignore raw view count. Views measure YouTube’s algorithm, not video quality.

Always.
Your searches stay yours
Everything runs locally in your browser. ClearTube never sees what you search, what you watch, or what you click. Your YouTube activity is completely private.
Minimal data, maximum honesty
We store only your email address and payment status — nothing else. We use Supabase for authentication and secure account management. No tracking, no analytics, no ad profiles.
No behavioural tracking
We don't know what videos you score. We don't know what you watch. The extension's only external call is to the public Return YouTube Dislike API — which carries zero information about you.
Everything you might be wondering.
$9. Forever.
