A LITTLE GUIDANCE

Help & contact

Which platforms does ViewSieve support?

YouTube, Instagram and TikTok in desktop Chrome. Each platform has its own content and interface controls. Enable only the platforms you want to use.

What happens after I add a rule?

Matching content disappears immediately. Quick additions offer a 3-second undo. Later matches stay out of view without reason cards. TikTok feeds skip matching items while retaining native navigation.

Will videos I open myself disappear?

Explicitly opened main content has viewing protection. Surrounding recommendations still follow your rules. Entering a generic feed or moving to another item does not grant that protection.

Does auto-skip remove every ad?

No. It uses the native YouTube Skip button when available. Unskippable ads, spoken sponsorships and server-stitched ads are not covered. Dedicated promotional labels are used for content filtering, not brand names or shopping words alone.

How is the daily allowance counted?

Successful content cleanup and YouTube ad auto-skips share one allowance across the three platforms in this Chrome profile. It resets each local calendar day. Failed actions do not count. Once exhausted, new cleanup stops; native browsing and manual ad skipping remain available.

What can I sync with Max?

Platform settings, layout, keywords, author lists, rule states and order. Sync is off by default and requires consent, the same Chrome sync account and extension ID. The budget is 80 KiB. Permissions, pause, daily usage and payment credentials stay local. Conflicts require your choice.

Can I subscribe now?

For live payments, use Plan & usage in the store-installed ViewSieve extension to subscribe through ExtPay / Stripe. This website does not take payments. Free includes limited content cleanup; Pro and Max add interface cleanup, and Max adds optional Chrome configuration sync. ViewSieve is available in the Chrome Web Store. Loading an unpacked local copy uses ExtPay test payments, not live billing.
