- The last YouTube redesign does break it especially by creating some unnecessary white space.

- works well and does what it says it does

- Great extension but is no longer hiding shorts in my search feeds so it needs an update. Had to install another extension just to get rid of shorts in my searches.

- Taktaagic
- I can't thank this extension enough for improving YouTube for me. I like using a lot of things things with as little distractions as possible, and this does exactly what I want and more! The only issue right now is that, probably because of the recent YouTube update, endscreens aren't being disabled anymore, so hopefully that can get fixed.
- Yahrite Fohb
- Was greeted with cringe end card clickbait thumbnails today. Please fix.
- Peter Jensen
- dosen´t hide endscreens!!
- Fisk Lundgreen
- I sometimes have university classes link to YouTube videos for assignments or use YouTube to find quick tutorials for research. I discovered, looking at my watch history that the recommended videos would distract me and suck me into the YouTube vortex after watching the class or instructional video. This simple and easy-to-use extension makes YouTube a simple video player rather than a soul/time sucking monster when my limited will power eventually fails to refuse the temptation to watch those perfected tailored selections of videos. This is a real quality of life improvement! Thanks!

- its awesome but lately some features have not been working correctly; shorts are no longer being blocked and the end screen recommendations have popped up now. i think youtube is slowly coding around this extension.
- J Barron
- Rating five stars for years of reliable service, but seems to no longer work with YouTube's latest update.
- neeru bhardwaj
- Have been using this for a while now, and I got no complaints. Simple GUI, no excess cosmetics, and does what it should be used for.
- H D
- Pretty good, has a lot of features. I find however that Hide Irrelevant Search Results doesn't seem to work as YT still peppers in random videos in between genuine search results. Also, would it be possible to add a feature to block specific buttons like Clip? Or change the button layout so all are displayed by default. YT keeps changing this, sometimes the Save button is immediately displayed, sometimes it's hidden in the ··· additional menu. Thank you

- Please add a Hide Members content button, to hide all videos for Members only, its very annoying when YouTube pushes members content when you are not a member,

- I rarely rate anything on the internet. But right after using this extension and checking out the feature, I have to rate this a 5 out of 5 cause there is no way to rate higher. Exactly what I was looking for. I simply wanted to get away from shorts. Thanks. GOAT.

- The new UI update makes it show related videos at the end of any YT video again. If this is fixed then it'll be 5 stars again.
- Rayane
- Excellent job, with this extension I'm able to navigate YouTube purposefully and peacefully.
- Bondon Phraphone
- The fact that this is needed these days because of how stupid Youtube thinks you are is crazy
- Josh KL
- kinda useful app but still doesn't completely hide the Youtube shorts that still show up when you search a youtube video
- Andrew Burrow
- Superb! So many tweaks available. With this extension, it is possible to create a very useful, calm, and enjoyable YouTube experience. I wish I had discovered this a year ago
- Innocentius
- With YouTube ramping up the so called "features" every single day, this plugin is 9-10 month out of date. Without updating, it only work for half of what people want.
