Description from store Please download uBlock Origin! It is the best tool for removing advertisements across the web, including video advertisements on YouTube™! I have no affiliation, it's just my favorite extension. NOT WORKING? Please use the feedback button to alert me if YouTube™ is not being displayed properly. YouTube™ occasionally updates its styling which may break DF Tube. REGARDING PRIVACY I do not read, examine or track your browser history or any other personal information. The only permissions I ask for are "tabs" to insert the functionality and "storage" to store your settings. I am a strong believer in privacy. This extension is just a tool to help remove the distracting elements from YouTube™. The permissions used by this extensions are 1) Storage - to store your preferences, 2) Tabs - to load the DF Tube script on each YouTube™ tab you open, and 3) https://api.mailgun.net/* domain - which is a service I use to send your feedback to my email. *** YouTube™ is directly incentivized to create as many views and ad clicks as possible. As a result we are inundated with tasty thumbnails and advertisements from every angle. While this is good for someone looking to kill time, it's not so good for those of us intending to focus on educational content, do research, or simply find some relaxing music to groove to. After using DF Tube for a few days, you realize the extent to which the pattern of click, watch, scan mindlessly for a new video, click, watch, and repeat, has been ingrained in us by YouTube™'s design. DF Tube breaks that cycle. By default, DF Tube disables autoplay, hides the video recommendations sidebar as well as the related videos that appear at the end of videos. It also removes the grid of recommended videos that appear on your homepage. These settings are all configurable. It can also hide comments and disable playlists sitewide. I hope DF Tube allows you to focus on the content *you* want to focus on. Give it a try and be sure to report any suggestions or bugs! ***UPDATES*** (11/18/2019) - Fixed issue where feed shows for a moment before being hidden

  • (2023-10-31) Patrick Heaney: i like this extension but it also seems to remove shuffle option from playlists which is not ideal
  • (2023-10-20) Reda Taghiti: straight to the point! really like it.
  • (2023-10-14) Ayyappa J: Awesome!
  • (2023-09-27) Sage: Works well. It has a few minor bugs, where the subscription bar isn't being blocked, and the bell notifications come through even while blocked, but it gets rid of the sidebar feed, and that's good enough for me.
  • (2023-09-27) claire danielle daroy: THANK YOU
  • (2023-09-26) Behnud NG: this extension is a life changer.

  • (2023-09-19) Karim Omarov: Amazing tool and UI/UX

  • (2023-09-10) Stephen Frank: Excellent. It saved my life and boosted my productivity. My chrome tab was such a huge mess before I discovered this extension.
  • (2023-09-04) Dankenštīn Steinberg: Really helpful! Though now I see more recommendations just from browsing my own playlists, scrolling to the bottom. Probably an issue because of the new YouTube layout/UI and NOT the extension itself, but still, that's not good. Would be nice to see it also hidden.
  • (2023-08-28) Mike R.: I love it. It's simple and does the job. It's astonishing what a difference it makes for my mental health and how much less time I don't waste on YouTube binging videos I will forget in a short time later. Big thank you to the developer!

  • (2023-07-29) Kevin Patel: One of the best productivity extension. Highly Recommended. I wish this is also available for Android.
  • (2023-07-26) SnekNOTSnake (Mr Sehat): If YouTube is a beer, this extension filters out its alcohol.

  • (2023-07-17) Imdadur Rahaman: Very Satisfied
  • (2023-06-25) Srikanth: Thank you so much
  • (2023-06-05) Phantom 2018: Installed this about a couple of weeks back. From then till now I haven't watched a single video that I did not explicitly search for. This plugin has saved me countless hours of mindless "suggested" video watching. I switched off both feed and right-panes. Productivity reclaimed ! I highly recommend this plugin to keep you focused on the Net.
  • (2023-06-04) PEACE YEAH: really nice extention :) i recommend
  • (2023-05-31) Adrian Noldan: This is the best, saves hours!
  • (2023-05-20) Aniruddha Chakraborty: Just what i needed!
  • (2023-05-20) John Kameas: Thank you so much, you are doing God's work.
  • (2023-05-18) Yaseemanac: One of the Best in it's kind
  • (2023-05-12) Levon: Being able to use YouTube without lured into watching some punk girl react to videos is a blast.
  • (2023-05-03) Epic Mango: I said it before and will say it again, splendid extension. It has served me very well over the past 3 years or so. PS: If you additionally want centered videos you can try the "Unhook" extension
  • (2023-05-01) Epic Gamer: I have ascended to a higher plane.
  • (2023-04-29) Christopher D Hermez: 5 stars, cause its good
  • (2023-04-25) Petros Giannis Petalas: My favourite extension to date. Youtube is a hard one because there is tons of useful information in there, so being able to just look for the stuff you want and not get sucked into rabbit holes is a game changer.
  • (2023-04-17) dipesh kumar: Great!!!
  • (2023-03-30) Paweł Orleański: Perfect!!!!!!!!! Thank you! Give way to support you!
  • (2023-03-27) Ray F: Youtube and their stupid design blocking the videos with "suggested" videos that you can't even remove. This plugin works. I'm happy.
  • (2023-03-08) Bliss: I've been using this extension for years and I love it! The only downside is that it hasn't been updated in about 4 years. If it did have an update, I'm sure the creator would add an option to turn off auto-play of the suggested video at the end of a video.
  • (2023-03-03) Vibha Patil: This extension has done wonders for me by removing distracting content like recommended videos. It works well and doesn't seem to have any bugs for me. My suggestion is that YouTube Shorts should be removed/made inaccessible as I find it another source of irrelevant content. It starts with one video which may be relevant and can turn into hours of mindless scrolling and that's never good.
  • (2023-03-02) Juan José León: Es una joya.
  • (2023-02-26) Bob Jones: It is a great extension and is very helpful. However, I have isolated it as the cause of a bug with YouTube I have been dealing with for a while. It can cause the videos on the home page to show up peculiarly. Particularly, it can make all of the videos display on one horizontal line with tiny YouTube thumbnails, even when deactivated. Once this bug is fixed, I will adjust my rating. Creator, feel free to reply to me with an email address that I can contact so we can discuss this further.
  • (2023-02-22) Crystal Chen: Thank you. This is just what I needed, and it works really well.
  • (2023-02-12) Fabio Biola: Very good extension for avoiding distractions. I wish it could work also for the Arc Browser, other than only for Chrome.
  • (2023-02-01) Aniket Parab: Exactly what I wanted
  • (2023-01-22) Janek Chmielewski: it's saves lifes since we only have few time
  • (2023-01-21) Lucas Garzuze Cordeiro: A melhor extensão que já baixei.
