Vaibhav Somani 2025-09-25

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.

Crypto Soul 2025-09-24

RYTY CHAN 2025-09-24

Its truly the best tool to become focused and remove the temptation to watch videos.

MisArchive 2025-09-22

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 2025-09-22

Excellent job, with this extension I'm able to navigate YouTube purposefully and peacefully.

Bondon Phraphone 2025-09-19

The fact that this is needed these days because of how stupid Youtube thinks you are is crazy

Josh KL 2025-09-19

kinda useful app but still doesn't completely hide the Youtube shorts that still show up when you search a youtube video

Andrew Burrow 2025-09-18

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 2025-09-18

With YouTube ramping up the so called "features" every single day, this plugin is 9-10 month out of date.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.

Ravinder Sanjay 2025-09-18

Must have chrome extension to avoid YouTube suggestions , shorts, comments so that you can use YouTube for the purpose for which you opened it .

Aegon 2025-09-17

Works great

Μάρκος Παντελιδάκης 2025-09-16

I'd only describe it with one word: Goated

Felipe Galindo 2025-09-15

Exactly what I was looking for, feeling blessed now of not having the constant pressure of doomscrolling.

Jacob Kohl 2025-09-15

This is exactly what I need to set up YouTube to be minimumally distracting but not completely remove everything to use it. A+

Brooke Griffin 2025-09-14

omg this is AWESOME! it's so customizable! it updates in real time when you enable or disable things, making it so much easier to play with it and find what suits you best! So cool!

MUKESHVEL M 111725203068 2025-09-14

Best! best app man! great work! i love it mainly brz it's a light extention,which is not distubing browsing, i have it in all my profile and in 1 star review people actually complained of certain feature which is accessable by pinning a and clicking it's icon... Best productivity extention i used! GREAT WORK!

Saved me hundreds of hours!

Sidhartha Mondal 2025-09-09

10/10 extension Very very useful for students who are fighting over their YT shorts distraction best part is, this only asks for Youtube permissions, and doesn't ask for any unusual or suspicious permission. You can also customize your YT feed by right clicking on the extension. Very very Helpful.

Chloe 2025-09-09
