• (2023-01-22) Max: I loved it. But i have a suggestion: When i am typing on search bar, suggestions appears, can you guys add a option to hide search bar suggestions?
• (2023-01-19) Phi Nguyen: thank you.
• (2023-01-18) Joanna Horevay: Highly recommend!
• (2023-01-17) Adrián Ramos: It does not remove Subscriptions and Explore correctly, they still show in my sidebar. It works perfect on Mozilla Firefox
• (2023-01-17) qinn1996: absolutely ESSENTIAL extension. I use it in conjunction with "AdBlock" and "Adguard", two very good ad blockers. Also "YouTube nonstop", "return youtube dislike" "sponsor block" and "no youtube shorts". Makes for the perfect YouTube experience.
• (2023-01-15) maverick gonzalez: love this!! i'll never doomscroll youtube again.
• (2023-01-14) Jeff Valcher: Was just thinking about making this myself. Great extension, thanks!!
• (2023-01-13) pranay janapatla: it made me to focus again and watch only people whom i trust and subscribed and it also avoided many distraction this is recommended for people who are trying to discipline themselves loved this chrome extension
• (2023-01-13) Daksh Daksh: That is a great chrome extension and am also using it on my mobile phone.
• (2023-01-13) 036 Kaushik: Simply works.
• (2023-01-13) Zichqec: This extension gave me my creative life back. I was originally intending to use it to stop me from clicking onto recommended videos and just watch what was in my subscription box, but once I cut out everything except the basic video data, I was suddenly able to make the leap and go cold turkey. I will still watch videos people send to me, but without the worry of getting sucked into recommended videos now. I have so much more time in my life for the projects I want to complete now because I was able to kick my youtube habit, all thanks to this handy little extension. I feel so much more creatively charged now that my mind isn't constantly in that dreamy, let-the-screen-entertain-me mode. Letting myself be a little bored now and then has made me want to fill that boredom with creative projects! Thank you so much, really and truly. Please try this extension if you're considering it. Just do it. If you don't like it, you can always remove it and go right back to normal youtube. But if you're like me and you always feel too distracted to work on your art or your writing or your coding or whatever, and you easily get drawn into youtube instead because your brain tugs you towards the path of least resistance, try this. It's a bit rough at first, but once you get past that initial hurdle, you may find yourself not wanting to go back at all.
• (2023-01-13) Ayush Pathak: Amazing!!
• (2023-01-11) Gabi Richman: Amazing, helps you not waste all your time on youtube
• (2023-01-11) Kalyani Joshi: A big thank you to the developer for creating such a useful extension. One that allows the user to focus and maintain their dopamine levels which are severely offset by Youtube's algorithm. Will donate :)
• (2023-01-08) David w: Great for killing distractions!
• (2023-01-08) T.K Lyte: Probably the most useful extension I've ever installed. I tend to get pulled down the Youtube rabbit hole and end up wasting a lot of time because I just can't resist those clickbaity recommended videos. No more. I can now just watch what I went there to watch and get out. Problem solved. Thank you developer. I will definitely donate.
• (2023-01-08) Sarah Vedress: This extension is great for having control over what you see in YouTube. You can turn off distracting and time-wasting elements such as recommendations, suggestions, shorts, end cards, comments and sidebars with a high degree of control. The ability to watch YouTube mindfully without the algorithm influencing what I see is invaluable.
• (2023-01-08) Aeferes — Al Firous (Al): Work like a charm, very well developer. Big thumbs up!
• (2023-01-08) Dhaval Doriya: just block a shorts videos in subscription page thanks

• (2023-01-04) Homer: thanks for the update january 2023
• (2023-01-03) Ali Hashemian: Please do something about shorts. The shorts tab is gone but they still appear on your subscriptions and if you click on one of them, you enter the rabbit hole. I installed "Youtube-shorts block" for now, which converts the shorts into normal videos. I hope to see the same functionality in Unhook in the future.
• (2023-01-02) Bilikgame: Bugged at the moment. Having this extension also removes Subscription portion from the sidebar, at least on Edge.
• (2023-01-02) Vinicius Terato Bini: Ideia incrível. Recomendo =)

I wanted to use yt for my studies but i kept watching videos on my feed instead and this app helped me study instead of watching random videos lol

Latest issues

• (2023-01-22, v:1.6.2) Eugene Krivobokov: Hide shorts
  Hide shorts in Home and Subscriptions. They are too distractive and useless for already subscribed channels.
• (2023-01-08, v:1.6.2) Sarah Vedress: "More Videos" in mobile browser fullscreen
  When I switch to fullscreen mode on a video in kiwi browser, an overlay appears that says "More Videos" in the bottom right corner. How do I hide this? I really love this extension, and appreciate having control over what I see on Youtube. Thank You!
• (2022-12-18, v:1.6.1) Ignas Blažys: I would love the unhook change default recommendation screen with specific topic screen as default
  After watching a lot of youtube, youtube generates you topics that you can click to have specific topic recommendations deisplayed, but by default it only shows ALL page. I would love that you could select one of the default topics and always default the landing page to that topic. I hope it's possible.

  Hi, I love the unhook extension on my chrome browser. But I also use youtube a lot on my google tv and my android smart phone. I was wondering, do you have the unhook app available on either smart TV/google TV/android phone or iPhone? Thanks!
• (2022-11-23, v:1.6.1) Nick Luger: Allow changing main buttons below video
  This is one of the best Chrome extensions ever made. Just one thing is missing for the perfect YT experience. YouTube UI team decided to hide the popular "Add to playlist"-button in the burger menu, while promoting the "clip" and the "download" buttons, probably to enforce engagement and push users to make a subscription (download just opens a CTA for the subscriptions).... Is there any chance you could allow changing the order of these buttons, bringing back the playlist button to a more prominent position? Thanks in advance.
• (2022-11-08, v:1.6.1) Fabian Bennett: Youtube keeps reloading.
  Unfortunately as much as I love the app, we're coming to an issue with it constantly reloading the youtube website, its colliding with something after a recent update. It sometimes calms down but often times makes it super annoying to get anything going as it might reload 10+ times before it settles. Wasting a lot of time. Shame as its been a killer extension.
• (2022-11-01, v:1.6.1) jerin jolly: Default Video Quality
  Please add default highest video quality option. Thanks.

• (2022-09-15, v:1.6.1) Saad: The extension started redirecting every website to YouTube
  I've encounter other people who had the same problem. It seems it only appears on chrome since I use the on MS Edge too; and there is no problem there. So, I'll give you some of my system info so you could be able to debug the extension: Browser: Chrome Version 105.0.5195.127 (Official Build) (64-bit) Number of activated extensions in my browser: 15+
• (2022-08-23, v:1.6.1) Inky Petrel: Does this stop youtube pausing videos?
  Does this app disable the "continue watching?" prompt? I use playlists of hours-long videos to have continuous background music, not to have youtube stop it every 20 minutes to ask if I'm still there. I don't see it listed on the app description, but If this app fixed that as well as everything else it does, that would be fantastic!

  Just as I said--every time I reload Youtube or load it in another tab, it will automatically turn off and I have to turn it back on and change all my settings again.

The recommended videos are all displayed now, so it looks like your extension doesn't work any more. Any solution? Thank you!

• (2022-03-26, v:1.5.8) RAZE_514: Watch "shorts" as normal Youtube videos
  Hey Unhook Devs! I have a suggestion to give for the extension. As I've come to a conclusion that YouTube shorts was a terrible Idea by google, I was wondering if you can make an update allowing us to watch shorts as normal Youtube videos. because I couldn't get used to watching videos in the center of the screen, with the comments hidden and that very unfitting TikTok-like UI which doesn't doesn't give you control over the progress bar slider whatsoever. and the auto-play is a bit confusing as it sometimes skips videos.. but I found out that all this has a rather easy solution: replacing the "shorts/" by "watch?v=" in the URL should do the trick but it wasn't practical for daily use. so maybe a little of programming from you skilled devs would be highly appreciated. Many thanks!

• (2022-03-10, v:1.5.8) Eden L: Recommendations are still gone after disabling it

• (2022-01-17, v:1.5.5) Alessandro Chieffi: +++The extension is ALMOST perfect+++
  Hello, I really appreciate your work and I believe this Unhook is better than any other else, BUT there is a small thing missing yet, in my opinion. The Feed/Library button on the left ( https://imgur.com/a/w9rhQ3I ), should have an option to be removed. Thanks in the case it will be possible, and thanks even if it's not!
