- Incredible creation! helps me focus a lot better.. it's almost like now i just cant live on the normal browsing, it immediatly starts giving me off vibes without unhook.. like there's so much clutter and random infromation distracting me which i dont need.. unhook makes things way easier and my attention so protected.. thanks to the creators who made it.. you guys are the best. <33 PS: it'll be so helpful if you guys can add a toggle to blocks the Shorts suggestions after one makes any searches too..

- Exactly what I was looking for, something to disable all the distracting buttons and eyecatching thumbnails, Just search for your lofi playlist and nothing else pops up. SUPER USEFUL for me since I have a bit of ADHD and this almost completly solves my incessant clicking onto recommended videos. THANK YOU! (also clean UI and no ads is a mega bonus!!)
