- It's very good if you are addicted to shorts it will remove the shorts as well as the shorts button from your screen. Highly recommended, if you want to remove the distraction from the roots.

- Downloaded it. Worked out how to open it in the extension. Pulled across a few sliders and my YouTube addiction instantly gone! Can't thank you enough for helping me get my life back. Highly recommend. Found out about this on "quitting your youtube addiction is easy, actually".

- Big fan. One nitpicking note, and not sure who's at fault, but the combo of UnTrap and PocketTube messes with the space to the right of the subscription table of video items. From what I can tell, the calculated margins from the combined css are off. For example, a row meant for 5 video items will only have room for a little over 4, but not enough for 5. So, this wraps the 5th video to the next row leaving a bunch of wasted space to the right of each row all the way down the page. Thanks!

- Helped me become way more productive, it doesn't restrict access to YouTube, it just makes it less appealing which is the best option in my opinion.
- Maneesh
- Excellent. It even does not let you see second short as we can apply disable scrolling in shorts page. Highly recommended by me
- ABHISHEK

- Rly helpful thing (redirect by using Undistracted works faster or that's just my problem) I use this extension with hide thumbnails from Undistracted and I rly recommend it!

- I want to start off saying this is by far the most robust add-on idea I could find anywhere for YouTube. With the amount of customization, you can really make a YouTube UI that suits you and your productivity needs the best. I heavily suggest using this add-on than any other add-on for that alone. HOWEVER, bear in mind 90%-ish of the stuff work correctly. For example, if you don't hide the entire home section, you can't hide the library section. Some stores may still pop up even if you toggle the option that should hide it (I tested with healthygamergg). And the horizontal menu bar in the channel page doesn't hide specific sections (it's either you hide the entire thing or nothing gets hidden at all). Even with these issues, I would have given 5 stars, it's just I want to give attention to these issues to the developers (and I think a 5 star would imply that its perfect and there are no issues to fix/change). Amazing add-on! Keep up the good work :)
