GoKawiilWeedout Safari Extension Filters AI-Labeled Videos From YouTube
A new macOS Safari extension called Weedout removes videos that YouTube has tagged with its "Made with AI" disclosure badge from a user's home feed, search results, related videos, playlists and Shorts. The tool costs $1.99 as a one-time purchase, requires macOS 13 or later, and runs entirely locally without collecting user data.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
As AI-generated video floods platforms like YouTube, tools that let viewers opt out of synthetic content signal growing consumer demand for control over feed curation. By relying strictly on YouTube's official labels rather than its own detection heuristics, Weedout avoids false positives but also means it can't catch unlabeled AI content, limiting its reach as a filtering solution.
- Weedout is a $1.99 Safari extension for macOS that hides YouTube's AI-labeled videos across feeds, search and Shorts.
- It works only by reading YouTube's existing 'Made with AI' badges, not by independently detecting AI content.
- The extension processes everything locally on the user's Mac, collecting no data or accounts.
