YouTube often shows the channel name as plain text in your History, suggested videos, and playlists — so you can’t jump to the creator with one click. Clickable Channels for YouTube turns those names back into real links. Click the channel → open their page What it does: • History, suggested videos, and lists — channel names are clickable • Playlists & Watch Later — on by default; turn off in the toolbar if you prefer plain text there Made for people who browse playlists and History all day.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Alex Y, maker of Clickable Channels for YouTube. I built this because YouTube kept showing channel names as plain text in places I use every day — especially History and playlists — and I was tired of searching for a creator I’d already watched. Install: • Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.co... • Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clickable-channels-for-youtube/ Privacy policy: https://docs.google.com/document... Happy to answer questions — and if you try it, I’d love to know which YouTube page you use most (History, Watch Later, live chat, etc.).
This is one of those tiny fixes that instantly makes YouTube less annoying 😄 I genuinely forgot channel names used to be clickable everywhere until they suddenly weren’t.
Installed it mainly for Watch Later and History, and now navigating between creators feels natural again. Love that it stays lightweight and doesn’t try to collect data or spam with popups.
Also appreciate the attention to weird YouTube edge cases — especially playlists and sidebar recommendations. Super useful extension.
