YouTube Quick Actions
A Tampermonkey userscript that adds Add to Queue and Not Interested buttons when you hover over a YouTube video thumbnail — no right-clicking or opening the "⋯" menu required.
Installation
- Install Tampermonkey for Safari (or any other browser).
- Open Tampermonkey → Create a new script.
- Paste the contents of
youtube-quick-actions.user.js and save.
Usage
Hover over any video thumbnail on YouTube. Two buttons appear in the top-left corner of the thumbnail:
| Button |
Action |
| + (queue icon) |
Add to queue |
| ✕ (X icon) |
Not interested / Hide |
The buttons work on:
- Home feed
- Search results
- Subscriptions feed
- Watch page sidebar (recommended videos)
- Playlist pages
Notes
- The script clicks the hidden "⋯" context menu on your behalf and selects the relevant item — the menu is invisible while this happens.
- On the Subscriptions page YouTube shows Hide instead of Not Interested; the script handles both automatically.
- Buttons disappear when you scroll, preventing stale actions on the wrong video.
