- Thank you very much. I appreciate your work. Whenever I open YouTube for a study video, I end up wasting at least 1 hour on random videos You helped me focus on my studies

- One of the best productivity extensions out there

- Adam Łyskawa
- First time I tried it I looked for options in wrong menu, then I've seen the level of customization it has. TL;DR: IT HAS EVERYTHING! Awesome!
- Dominique Mckeough

- Incredibly powerful, can do almost anything you want to make the YouTube UI less addictive. Been spared from the Frontpage for many years. Thank you.
- Michael Prinsloo
- Great extension! Would you consider adding an option to hide Members only videos, if possible?
- Joel Mahon
- Been using for ages, polished and excellent app. A recent YouTube update broke endscreen video suggestions being hidden but updates breaking the extension a bit is unavoidable so no points deducted. Great for work use and personal use for different reasons.
- Huib Piguillet
- 5 stars well earned, since it helped me tremendously to keep me from hours of aimless watching, and hundreds of tabs open with videos that I all just had to check out (but we've all been there I guess.. 🥹), while allowing to watch the channels that mean a lot to me in a more intentional manner. That being said, unfortunately there has been a UX update of the YouTube video player recently and the "end cards" (is what they're called afaik) are no longer being hidden. And I noticed they are as challenging for me as they used to be back in my pre-unhook days.. 💀 So 'd be more than thankful with an update to get the extension up to date with the latest player again. 🙏

- Necessity for the distractions youtube throws at you constantly while trying to do anything productive.
- Adewumi Arowolo
- This extension is spectacular. Now, my distractions are gone.
- ISSMAIL AIT TMAS
- it is really helpful
- polux
- The "Hide explore, trending" option is hiding the "you" options like history, watch later and playlists on my device, except for that, great extension.
- Azipt Final
- I cannot survive on the earth without this addon. Thank you dev!
- Zayed Khan
- Goated extension!!!! saves you from distraction and helps you to focus what you are doing
- Apoorv Gupta
- Well it is said nothing is perfect. But this extension proves it wrong thats why a 5/5 for me. This is the most perfect extension if you need youtube just for study but not as distraction. Besides its option of hide shorts, there are plenty of other option like hide comments and live chat, disable anotations or autoplay etc etc which will help you stay on what you want rather than what algorithm wants. This helps you by preventing scrolling and spending time on unnecessary things. If you value your time you will definitely want to use this. Highly recommended.
- Fatemeh Ostvar
- Awesome
- Manuel Santamariña
- In the age of forced algorithmic recommendations and platforms controlling what you see and depriving you of your precious attention and time, this extension is a must. Wish this level of customizability was mandated by law for all the offending platforms.

- Pinkamen
- Love it. Literally one of the best, if not the best, performance addon I ever installed and used. Deserves 5 stars for all the functionality and simplicity. P.S: YouTube has been updated, so Unhook doesn't work on the video player as expected - still shows suggested videos. Please, fix.

- Nicholas “Nick” Santiago
- Unhook is an AMAZING extension, it has so many features of blocking features on youtube like Shorts, channel info, notifications, subscriptions. Unhook can make youtube VERY basic if thats what you desire.
