- Works! I was looking for something like this because sometimes I want to browse news, politics, and current events, but I don't want to be tempted to go down the peanut gallery (aka "comments") rabbit hole. Now, if there was a little switch to "prevent replies", that might be a nice middle ground. The biggest waste of time is me responding to the gallery. With this little app, it's like putting the cookie jar on the top shelf. Not high enough to prevent me from getting it. But just out of reach so I'm forced to make a choice if I want it or not. Kudos to the author =)

- love it
- Phil Lukeman
- Does exactly what it says. Saves sanity, allows me to *** just watching the videos I search for ** rather than distractions like algorithmic slop or dopamine-addiction shorts, allows me to hide comments from people! Developer responsive, updated when youtube changed. Recommend!
- Nader Rassam
- I installed this extension to hide me everything that distract me on YouTube, and it works very great! i can choose what i want to hide (shorts included) and i also can enable/disable the extension at any time. highly recommending for everyone. Feature suggestion: Add Show Dislikes option

- Excellent Extension. Does exactly what I want it to when I want it to. Would recommend.
- Sammie Kwiatkowski
- Flawless execution, even though shorts aren't hidden all the time (i.e. for search results) but it gets my main job done (hiding the search bar) so I cannot complain. one thing I'd suggest is password protection to make it harder to disable the settings I want there to be something for Google like this.

- The developer and therefore extension is unreliable. Alex (the developer) recently sold one of his extensions (Web Activity Time Tracker) to shady actors who ended up getting that extension unlisted from the Chrome webstore due to their modifications. Alex did not provide any warning or indication to us users aside from editing the README file in his repository and his GitHub profile. The vast majority of people don't visit a Chrome extension's GitHub page or the developer's profile, let alone with any regularity to see the warnings that were added. What he did was not an acceptable method to communicate a major ownership change. This is unacceptable, dishonest, and scummy behavior, and I have uninstalled this extension due to it. I would recommend anyone else do the same lest this extension go down the same road.

- Wonderful
- Silverwing
- This app is fantastic at what it does. I found another app which does more than this and eliminates three chrome extensions I had (called Stay Free) I can definitely recommend both if you're looking to spend less time wasting away in front of YouTube's endless content.
- King Of Pandas
- When YouTube is constantly trying to keep you hooked and watching, an app like this really helps you stay focused on whatever you're doing, whether listening to music for studying, or watching a video, without getting pulled away into something else. Highly recommend for those who could use a hand in staying focused.
- Angel Brown
- I wish I could rate this extension 0 star's 1. it doesn't have the tab 2. it does nothing all it does is up storage on my computer 3. dont download unless you want less storage on your computer
