Description


RegretsReporter



If you are regularly watching YouTube, then chances are that you noticed that the recommendation algorithms can be quite annoying. Not only does it not account fully for the types of videos you are watching, but sometimes it offers misleading, click bait, scams, and overall harmful content.



Features:



  • Chrome extension to take control over YouTube suggestion algorithm

  • Part of Mozilla's ongoing research against harmful recommendations

  • Provides details about Mozilla research upon installation

  • Privacy protection with random user ID assignment



Privacy Concerns:


As far as the privacy is concerned, Mozilla states that they do not link the data to your actual YouTube account, but rather assign a randomly-generated user ID. This ID can be referred to in the research and can be shared with other organizations that are involved with investigating more trustworthy AI and algorithms.



If you would like to improve your overall YouTube experience by filtering out videos that are misleading, click baits, or simply clips that don't present any interest, then perhaps you can consider giving RegretsReporter a try.
