- (2025-07-07) Menelaos Papakonstantinou: Finally, an app that does what it promises. No bugs, no forced pop-ups, no small letters. Download it, use it, savour it, because this level of delivery is hard to come across these days.
- (2025-07-06) Koyaş Han: this is a great for me finally i can study about my grades thank you very much

- (2025-07-03) Kasun Kandauda: One thing missing, but absolutely incredible regardless. This is an absolute game changer, I'l so grateful for this plug-in. If you could add something to hide the 'more videos' banner that shows up on the screen when you hit pause too, it would be the cherry on top. Thank you for this.

- (2025-07-01) Ritesh Sivanathan: Works exactly as intended. Includes an extensive range of features, all for free. No ads, very simple menu, no popups, 10/10,
- (2025-06-29) Samuel Robinson: Must have to save time. Straightforward collection of key settings to remove content that can cause a distraction and a chain of binging. Shorts seem to display when performing video searches.
- (2025-06-28) Ella Walker: Amazing! So helpful for focus
- (2025-06-26) audra m: please fix the shorts!!
- (2025-06-26) Sahil Khan: It's not blocking shorts from my search feed. Otherwise the app works great.
- (2025-06-24) Pami Shoodrani: YouTube has seemingly conquered Unhook as of June 23, 2025. Unhook no longer removes Shorts. They are displaying now on YouTube despite the Unhook extension being on and running.
- (2025-06-24) Dhruv Erry: Absolutely amazing. Wish there was a way to lock the settings or require a password or timer or some kind of a deterrent.
- (2025-06-24) 조한규: simple and straightforward yet very effective.

- (2025-06-21) Ziad Yahya: Thank you, It made my studying on YouTube more better.
- (2025-06-19) Mili Dovidenko: I absolutely love it. It lets me control my YouTube experience so that I don't fall into the tactics and algorithms that are designed to keep us addicted to this platform. Keep up the good work :)
- (2025-06-17) Yohan Rochana: If you need "a distraction-free browsing experience" or "a productivity booster", this is a must-have. Highly recommend!
- (2025-06-17) Rafael Pieri: Straight forward, works like a charm.
- (2025-06-17) Njabulo Mayisela: Great job man. My focus & productivity will surely improve now and its thanks to you. Thanks again.
- (2025-06-16) Alisson: Nice
- (2025-06-16) Kain Dean: I've been using unhooked for a couple of months now via suggestion of a friend, makes my YouTube time more intentional. One suggestion I have is to have the option to completely remove the search bar, or to remove the algorithmically selected videos while searching.
- (2025-06-15) Wilson Leung: Great extension. Would be nice if there was a way to make it less easy to turn it off (delay, time schedule, etc...)
- (2025-06-15) Discord Profile: Exactly what I need, does the job.
- (2025-06-13) Valentina Ursino: Works exactly as intended, exponentially increases productivity.
- (2025-06-12) Ahmad Maartmesrini: great tool
- (2025-06-12) Haley: It's Amazing!!! Thank you so much ❤️🔥
- (2025-06-11) Maltorix Strylecks: This is just peak bro. 100% recommended. (Not sponsered BTW). Actually great for someone who needs to focus.
- (2025-06-11) Ibraheem Diaa-Edeen: Brilliant Extension
- (2025-06-10) Productive: Honestly, this is probably the best thing I've done to lower my Youtube watch time and increase my focus when I do watch something. I can only watch videos I actually search for so my productivity has SKYROCKETED. No scrolling to comments mid-video, no shorts, no suggested videos- It's amazing. The best part about Unhook is that I requested a feature to be added (disable autoplay) and it was actually added. If you want to be more productive 100% get Unhook.
- (2025-06-10) Timothy Kelly: YouTube is unusable without this extension. It needs to block the thumbnails they are forcing in the search bar now too though
- (2025-06-09) Sebastian A: This is a great extension, and it completely changes the YouTube experience for the better.
- (2025-06-09) Seb Riebolge: brilliant idea!
- (2025-06-08) Даниил Зуев: works exactly as expected. haven't noticed any bugs.
