- Unhook is honestly one of the best extensions I’ve ever installed. It completely changed how I use YouTube. I always wanted YouTube to be a tool for learning, not just endless scrolling and distractions. This extension actually makes that possible. It removes all the noise and helps me stay focused on what I came there for. It genuinely feels like a brain detox. I’d love to support or contribute more someday. For now, the least I can do is leave this comment and say thank you — this has made a real difference for me. 🙌

- Adam Rafferty
- Thank you. Within the first 48 hours of having UNHOOK installed, I've gotten much more done. I can still choose the YT channels / videos I'd like for news or updates, but I am experiencing ZERO pull into doom scrolling. The YT home screen for me is landmines - trioggers that leave me doubtful, distracted and feeling worse. So glad it's now turned off thanks to this extension. 5 stars!

- Great Legendary App , Has helped me so much its scary .

- The "hide shorts" could really hide them, not just when you start to watch one.
- Storm Poop
- I genuinelly find this extension helpful. i dont normally write eviews but im so glad i dont have to see the same slop videos in my recommended every time Im trying to go and use youtube for something. I hate the algorithm so this gets 20 stars from me

- Sansca R
- Super helpful for browsing on Youtube without doomscrolling or getting distracted. I would love if this has a lock feature or a timed feature as well!
- Martin S
- It works great on youtube itself, but when I'm trying to open a page with an embedded iframe youtube video, it ends up rapidly flickering and it never plays, it stays stuck at zero seconds.

- JUST PERFECT NO LAGGING NO OVERLAPPING ITS THE BEST FOR PRODUCTIVE WORK LIKE TO SEE AN APP FOR ANDROID FROM THE DEVELOPER
- S Netherlands
- Exactly what youtube needs to be a quality platform again. Similar to Facebook and Instagram the platform and algorithms are completely made to improve 'engagement' which in corporate speak means meaningless doomscrolling through rage baiting content as this gets the most emotions. Having disabled both this and Youtube search history I now only get the direct content that I want to look at and no more meaningles drama and politics. Thanks team!
- Ferid Qurbanli
- I'll be totally honest with you, this program is really helpfull. I am a student and i work on my laptop a lot. But i often get distracted by youtube when i search something up. I tried programs to block youtube permanently but i couldn't do research now. But with Unhook, you can still do your research without distraction. Thanks a lot to the devs who made this extension.
- Brent Fowler
- The perfect solution for anyone trying to break a scrolling habit while still needing access to long-form content. It effectively disables addictive "algorithm" features and puts you back in control of your YouTube experience. This extension is exactly what I needed. I deleted TikTok and removed YouTube from my phone because I struggle with endless scrolling, but I still need long-form videos for my desktop work. Unhook is a game-changer—I have it set to automatically redirect my home feed to my subscriptions page. Now, I’m no longer bombarded by the algorithm and can actually stay focused on the content I intended to watch. Perfect for those looking for quiet when today's tech wants to drown you. Digital Minimalism at its best.

- Simply briliant! Lets you take your life back and still enjoy youtube :)
- T'awna Miller
- A great tool! I use it to block recommendations, comments, and the home page feed on YouTube. This makes YouTube far more pleasant and less distracting. I only have two critiques. The Hide End Scene settings do not work, and sometimes videos still Autoplay. However, I am really enjoying Unhook so far. Great job!
- Luca Benazzi
- Causing extensive blinking on embedded YouTube videos, which also cannot be reproduced. This is very annoying and may even induce a seizure on people with epilepsy. Please fix this!
- Rishav
- I cannot imagine my life without this extension. So many countless hours of doomscrolling has been saved simply because I had this extension working in my favor. Thank you to the developer!
