- Worked amazing, but now the video suggestions after the video is finished have an update look, and Unhook no longer blocks them.
- Nicholas “Nick” Santiago
- Unhook is an AMAZING extension, it has so many features of blocking features on youtube like Shorts, channel info, notifications, subscriptions. Unhook can make youtube VERY basic if thats what you desire.

- Женя Філь
- This app helped me a lot to get rid of youtube addiction. Just by not having video suggestions at the end and making main page empty I started to spend much less time on it.
- Kennui Muffins
- Works immediate as of november 2025. Sidebar gone. That's all I wanted, I don't know how well the other features work.
- Brennon Williams
- Extremely useful tool for staying more focused and using youtube as a tool rather than a distraction. A+++
- Dhananjay Sabhahit
- Just amazing
- Andrew Backhus

- BHAVESH MANDAL

- Noppadol songyoo
- Great extension but.... Hiding end cards is not working.
- Lorenzo C
- Great app! Worked all good until a week ago, and it still works great for most features. Now Youtube has changed a bit the way the video screen is embedded, and the End Screen Feed / End Screen Card suggestions at the end of the video (the ones appearing within the video frame) are not removed anymore. I am waiting to the updated Uphook version that will fix that asap... Keep up the great work! This app is extremely useful to remove the toxicity from your online experience and your life (many video suggestions are about sad recurrences, politically motivated content, online controversies, silly content, etc)
- Sanskar Shah

- Now I can study without distractions. Really good!!
- Clementine
- I give my biggest applause to you developer, I can see how much psychological thought went into this. Pairing that with your programming skills to develop a project like this is very plausible. :)
- Bobby Jones
- Productivity increased dramatically when using my personal account to browse academic videos. No more random YouTube drama pestering me in the corner of my eye.
- Y C CHANNEL
- I am really flattered as i saw the hide shorts option for which i am giving it a 5 star. no recomendation is greeat but no shorts is absolutely outstanding feature i was seeking for.
- Abigail Loghry
- This extension is so simple and so effective! I love the clean look of just watching the video I clicked on through my google search, with no clutter or distractions or temptations. It's so amazing that this is free and has no ads! Also, it's very customizable as far as what you do and don't want to see, and so easy and simple to adjust. No extra features, just a very effective and easy product.
- Sevda
- an amazing extension! love the efficacy!
- Shreeram
- Been working good so far, Now that since youtube has updated, need an update for the recommended screens which comes below the video in full screen for Chrome PC
- Martin Berisso
- Amazing. Useful. Great.
- Michael J Beninate
- Youtube knows me. It knows what I like and will feed to me more of what I like. Adding Unhook helps me to not partake in everything that I like to the detriment of my time. I will turn Unhook off if I am searching for reviews and information about a product or topic. When I do that, it is clear to see just how much time Unhook saves me. All of the things that Youtube serves to me return. This extension was mentioned in a comment section of a video. I'm glad that person mentioned it. I write about it at times in other comments that I make so others can be freed too.
- Kunj Bihari Pandit
- Excellent extension as it allows users to customise exactly what they need on their youtube page.
- Sanjana Sharma
- Absolutely amazing, much needed extension. It blocks all things shown on your youtube (except subscriptions and other basic settings). You come to a blank slate, bringing back agency to choose what you want to watch and you directly search for it. Super grateful for this extension.
- Vishal Shrivastav
- plz update, and remove element with class = "ytp-fullscreen-grid"
- Dan Nichols
- Phenomenal It is not blocking youtube Shorts anymore, would love an update for 2025 to fix this. From a grateful donor, will be glad to donate again.
