Over time, my "Liked Songs" playlist became a massive graveyard of tracks I no longer listen to.<br> I looked for a <strong>"Remove All"</strong> button, but Google still hasn't added one. 🚫</p> <p>So, I decided to solve this problem myself. Initially, I wrote a simple script, but I realized we needed something better. So I turned it into a full-featured <strong>Chrome Extension!</strong> 🚀</p> <h2> 🛠️ The Solution: YTM Cleaner (v1.2 Update) </h2> <p>This isn't just a script anymore. It's a proper extension with a user interface, smart safety features, and now <strong>global support</strong>.</p> <h3> 🔥 Key Features: </h3> <ul> <li> <strong>🌍 Multi-Language Support (NEW):</strong> The extension automatically detects your browser language and switches between <strong>English 🇺🇸</strong> and <strong>Turkish 🇹🇷</strong>.</li> <li> <strong>🧠 Smart Page Detection:</strong> The "Start Cleaning" button intelligently appears only on your <strong>Liked Songs</strong> or <strong>Library</strong> pages, so it doesn't clutter your interface.</li> <li> <strong>🛡️ Whitelist System:</strong> You can add your favorite artists (e.g., <em>"The Weeknd, Daft Punk"</em>) to a safe list. The extension will <strong>skip</strong> their songs and only delete the rest!</li> <li> <strong>🧹 Sniper Mode:</strong> Unlikes songs one by one with a human-like delay to bypass YouTube's spam protection.</li> <li> <strong>📊 Live Stats:</strong> Shows how many songs you have deleted and estimates the remaining time.</li> </ul> <h2> 📸 How it looks </h2> <p><em>(You can add the screenshot here from your GitHub repo)</em></p> <h2> 💻 How to Install? (Developer Mode) </h2> <p>Since I haven't published it on the Chrome Web Store yet (saving that $5 registration fee for now 😅), you can install it manually in 1 minute:</p> <ol> <li> Download the <strong><code>YTM-Cleaner-v1.2.zip</code></strong> file from the <a href="https://github.com/gktrk363/youtube-music-cleaner/releases" rel="noopener noreferrer">GitHub Releases page</a>.</li> <li> Unzip it to a folder.</li> <li> Open Chrome and go to <code>chrome://extensions</code>.</li> <li> Enable <strong>"Developer mode"</strong> (top right toggle).</li> <li> Click <strong>"Load unpacked"</strong> and select the folder you extracted.</li> <li> That's it! Go to your Liked Songs playlist and you'll see the 🧹 button.</li> </ol> <h2> 🔗 Get the Code </h2> <p>The project is <strong>100% Open Source</strong> under MIT License.
