What

Adds comment & live-chat scam/spam filtering (roadmap F2), bumping the extension to v1.9.0.

A new Comment & chat filtering section (Settings → Focus & Limits) hides comments whose text or author matches a filter. Under the master Filter scam & spam comments toggle:

  • Use built-in scam phrase pack (on by default once filtering is enabled) — a curated, local list of phrases common in YouTube comment scams: giveaway/impersonation (free crypto, Elon Musk giveaway), fake investment "advisors" (investment advisor, made me rich), and off-platform contact lures (text me on Telegram, t.me/, whatsapp me).
  • Also apply my keyword blocklist — additionally hides comments matching the same keyword list (plain text and /regex/) you already manage in the Dashboard. No second list to maintain.
  • Filter live chat too — applies the same filters to live-stream chat messages.

How

  • Matcher + scam pack live in defaults.js (FY_MATCHES_COMMENT_FILTERS, FY_COMMENT_SCAM_PRESET) so identical logic runs in both frames.
  • Main frame: applyCommentFilters() in content.js iterates ytd-comment-thread-renderer, reads the top comment's #content-text + #author-text, and hides the whole thread via the existing managed-hide mechanism.
  • Live chat is an iframe, so a dedicated lightweight content script livechat.js is registered for *://www.youtube.com/live_chat* with all_frames: true; it reads the same settings from chrome.storage.local and filters yt-live-chat-text-message-renderer rows.
  • Local only — no comment text leaves the device. All settings default off.
  • Strings localized in EN, NL, DE, FR. Website download zip rebuilt with livechat.js.

Testing

  • Node unit tests for the matcher: 16/16 (substring, /regex/, broken-regex safety, preset hits, no over-match on normal text).
  • Live-DOM integration probe on a real video: 99/99 comment threads extracted, 0 false positives on normal comments, a planted scam comment caught end-to-end.
  • ⚠️ Live-chat filtering could not be exercised headless (needs an actual live stream) — flagged for manual smoke. Note hideLiveChat defaults to true, so chat filtering only applies for users who re-enable chat.
