- Was great now its paid subscription bs. Do not waste your time.
- YG YG
- Most of features are only by payment. No thanks. You would probably have more success with a donation button than asking us for paying for premium.
- 農上 元・Nougami Hajime
- Wake up just to realize that even the most basic features are now Premium only...
- o o
- 90% toolbar became locked behind paywall. Try something else.
- Taesbil
- I guess I only used the basic features to begin with, 'cause I haven't noticed any difference since the creator made a paywall to gate certain features (which is justified imo—and he did notify us about the change well ahead of time). I'm not paying anything but it's still hiding the home page suggestions and the side bar suggestions, which are crucial features for me. Thank you, Lawrence!
- Laura
- It was fantastic! but now most of the features are hiding behind a paywall 🤯
- Артём Рожков
- As many people have already written in their reviews, this was a great extension before all the main features were made paid
- Ali Hashemian
- Most of the previously free features are now behind the paywall! I started using a new extension called UnTrap.
- SylmFox
- After the recent update, most of the features I used were put behind a paywall, so I simply downgraded the extension using the CRX file from before the enshittification. Otherwise, it's a good extension.
- M. M.
- Was a great little extension until the developer decided to paywall everything. Probably thought he could make bank off the people who need to get a ton of extensions just to make YouTube even halfway usable anymore. What a complete tosser this guy is.
- Sebastián Illés
- I'm sad to see that 95% of the already existing options are now locked behind a subscription. Crazy. Made it totally useless but I guess you can make a couple dollars a month now. I doubt a lot of people are going to pay for it anyway, most will uninstall it as well instead of keeping basic features. No one in their right mind pays for a web extension, ESPECIALLY not a monthly subscription.
- Piotr Furgała
- Everything was fine until author decided to grab from you 3$ per month to unlock features. I would understand one time payment but a subscription is a big NO.
- T _
- A lot of tweaks- well, that was before 90% of features got locked behind a paid subscription.
- Atakan Özkan
- Almost all of the features are paid only, go find something else this is completely useless now.
- PukkaFactor
- Removed it after the latest changes. There are plenty of similar extensions without the paywall and privacy concerns
- Koolant Ecodergyn (Koolant)
- Amazing extension... however in the latest update 70% of previously free features became paywalled all of a sudden. not cool, not cool at all.
- Jason Kopsidas
- They've just locked existing features behind premium these were previously free to use
- Ilya Petrov
- recently they added telemetry... to a freaking browser extension... what the hell??? also, they advertise the coming of premium features, which have no point whatsoever. If I wanted premium, I would just buy YouTube premium. Time to write my own extension I guess
- Ray
- Started inserting banners about a "Premium" model and "moving features" behind a paywall. Previously added logging / data collection on an opt-out basis which is illegal in some territories. So far still functional but developer integrity is no longer unchallenged.
- Ali Elshazly
- Amazing, it blocks everything even after the new youtube update
- leetcoder yt
- Really good extension to avoid youtube addiction, and focus only on important things.
- Sneh
- I keep forgetting what this is called when I set up a new computer. Leaving a comment because YouTube is unusable without this extension, this comment is both a 5 star recommendation and a way for me to find it faster
- Pro Bull
- I really loved your extension, i don't have any suggestion for you as its already so well made. I just wanted to remind you, what masterpiece you have made, loved it. The thing i love the most is the high level of customization options you allow, that too for free, in today's capitalist society, where everyone charges $ for basic customizations. Thanks a lot brother, keep going, keep it up. Hats Off to you!
- Jessi
- Grateful this extension works to remove the end of video suggestions.
- M P S
- Very nice. Really useful.
- Anita Grace
- Wow, a Youtube extension that is updated and actually removes the end screen suggestions. I really like all the other options available as well. Absolute time saver. Youtube was annoying me with all the garbage videos that are out now. Great extension that works. Thanks!
- Conor Greive
- Brilliant. Works with the latest youtube redesign
- Hope Banks
- The only one that actually works in my experience with extensions, YouTube is now a joy without the frustrations and distractions. Brilliant! I love it!
- Suning Chen
- YouTube just added three video suggestions at the end as I opened my web browser today. "Remove end of video suggestions" seem to be not working. Are you planning on updating this software?
- Anita Grace
- I installed this because it has a more recent update than Unhook. I was hoping this extension would block end screen suggestions, it does not. Really hoping we get an update to fix that issue. Everything else, at least the options I have clicked, works great.
- Samuel Santana
- Great extension to keep you focused. YouTube Home is now my subscriptions, shorts, have been removed, and search results have been improved. Now I can easily be more intentional with my YouTube watching.
- Timothy L. Fanai
- Really impresses, it got so many useful functions and I am loving it It feels like a paid version or an upgrade of Unhook extension
- Ertuğrul Uyar
- Great!
- Lei F
- The "Schedule" and "Lock Settings" functions are life changer, paired with Chrome's ExtensionInstallForcelist policy it becomes an extremely potent tool for productivity during working hours.

- RYS — Remove YouTube Suggestions has quality features and is efficient. I've enabled many of the options, and all work perfectly! Is it possible to add these features in RYS? 1. Set a default video resolution. 2. Replace the thumbnail with a start, middle, or end image of the video. 3. Format the video title in lowercase, capitalize sentences, or capitalize words and remove emojis.

- Chaitanya Shahare
- This is the best chrome extension I've ever used. I thought of making something like this myself, but the implementation is just perfect. It has saved me countless hours, stopped me from doom scrolling on youtube. Highly recommend it to anyone who is addicted to youtube like myself and still need it for work or study. Thanks to the developers of this extension!
