Description
Kalm combines ad blocking based on uBlock Origin Lite, including YouTube ad filters, with a YouTube scam/NSFW comment bot blocker. It checks comment links, public author bios and visible channel promotions before showing comments—even when the text looks ordinary. Add blocked sites or keywords, optionally hide all linked comments, and choose a filtering level per website. Free and open source, with local checks and cached author decisions. Available on Chrome.

Could you build this?
Yes It can be implemented as a browser extension using standard WebExtensions APIs, packaging existing open-source blocking rules and DOM-scraping YouTube comment elements to check links and author attributes.
