- (2025-03-10) Pranav Dalvi: I've always wanted to declutter YouTube. While I used to use uBlock Origin to block elements, it often broke YouTube's functionality. This new extension works perfectly.
- (2025-02-28) Kartik Dhunisinghani: Aperture is exactly what I needed! YouTube can be such a time sink, but this extension helps me stay focused by hiding comments, recommendations, and even the homepage. I love that I can customize what gets hidden, and the fact that my settings sync across devices is a huge plus. Highly recommend for anyone trying to be more intentional with their time on YouTube!
