About YouTube Allowlist
Parental YouTube allowlist: only approved channels and videos can be watched.
YouTube Allowlist gives you full control over what content can be watched on YouTube. Instead of trying to block everything unsafe, this extension flips the logic:
✅ Only videos from approved channels or specific video URLs are allowed. ❌ Everything else gets automatically blocked.
Perfect for parents, classrooms, kiosks, community computers, or anyone who wants a distraction-free and safer YouTube experience.
🔒 How It Works
- Open any YouTube channel or video you trust.
- Add it to your allowlist using the extension popup.
From now on, only those approved channels/videos can play — everything else is blocked and muted.
If someone tries to open unapproved content, they will see a full-screen message:
“This video has been blocked by YouTube Allowlist.”
Audio is also muted automatically — no bypass tricks.
🎯 Key Features Allowlist-based filtering → only approved channels and videos are playable Blocks all other YouTube content, including: Normal videos (/watch) Shorts (/shorts) Embedded videos Filters audio as well — muted + paused repeatedly to prevent bypass Clean and intuitive interface Add channels by: URL (youtube.com/channel/…), @handle, Channel ID (UC…)

Data source
Covers every Chrome Web Store extension with at least 100 users, found through the store's public sitemap. User counts are read from public listing pages. The 10% most-used extensions are refreshed daily, the next 40% weekly and the next 40% monthly; the least-used 10% are not refreshed. Google displays rounded user counts (and caps the display at 10,000,000+), so small changes may not be visible. Rating counts above 1,000 are rounded (e.g. 1.6K).
