Delete Search History, Keep Recommendations.
Clear YouTube History is a one-click Chrome extension that deletes your YouTube search history while keeping your valuable watch history safe.
About Clear YouTube History
YouTube removed a critical feature: the ability to delete your search history without also deleting your watch history. This means you have to choose between a cluttered, private search log and the personalized recommendations you love. **Clear YouTube History** brings that control back. It's a lightweight extension that precisely targets and removes only your search entries, leaving your watch data untouched.
Key Features
- 🎯 Precision Cleaning - Deletes only search history, not watch history.
- ⚡ One-Click Magic - No settings, no configuration. Just click and it's clean.
- 🔒 100% Private - Works locally in your browser. We never see your data.
- 👍 Keep Your Feed - Your video recommendations stay perfectly tailored to you.
- 🪶 Ultra-Lightweight - Won't slow you down. Does one job and does it well.
Who Is It For?
This tool is perfect for:
- Anyone who shares a computer and values their privacy.
- Users who make random searches and don't want them to ruin their recommendations.
- Researchers and professionals who need a clean slate without a full reset.
- Everyone who misses the old, simple way of managing their YouTube data.
