Feature Description

Please add an option to hide (like in what's new tab) or gray out (or collapse or something more distinct than the thin red bar) watched videos in the channel view.

Current indication of thin red bar is often hard to notice especially when most videos on the list already have this bar. Also flashy youtube thumbnails make it harder to see.

Since current solution is probably fine for the majority of users this option could be added to accessibility options.

I wanted to submit similar proposal and noticed that someone had already proposed it in 2023 in upstream. Although it is a very minor change that could greatly improve the user experience, it looks like it will not be implemented because no new features have been added to newpipe for years and no proposals are implemented no matter what. I copied the proposal. Here is a link to the original.

TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#10614

In 2024, user @yy-385 attempted to implement the feature, but the PR was rejected due to a freeze on adding new features (which is still in effect today, all these years later)
