- (2025-07-17) Nikolai Ekimov: I love it, it actualy "unhooks" you from spontant desire to watch something you don't really need. [FEATURE REQUEST]: if possible, I would love an option to not fully hide the home feed, but leave only "Music" tab, music video recommendations are good for background.
- (2025-07-17) Jim Moriarty: Thanks a lot, for keeping youtube experience clean and focused.

- (2025-07-03) Kasun Kandauda: One thing missing, but absolutely incredible regardless. This is an absolute game changer, I'l so grateful for this plug-in. If you could add something to hide the 'more videos' banner that shows up on the screen when you hit pause too, it would be the cherry on top. Thank you for this.

- (2025-06-29) Samuel Robinson: Must have to save time. Straightforward collection of key settings to remove content that can cause a distraction and a chain of binging. Shorts seem to display when performing video searches.
- (2025-06-28) Ella Walker: Amazing! So helpful for focus
- (2025-06-26) audra m: please fix the shorts!!

- (2025-06-24) Pami Shoodrani: YouTube has seemingly conquered Unhook as of June 23, 2025. Unhook no longer removes Shorts. They are displaying now on YouTube despite the Unhook extension being on and running.
- (2025-06-24) Dhruv Erry: Absolutely amazing. Wish there was a way to lock the settings or require a password or timer or some kind of a deterrent.

- (2025-06-16) Alisson: Nice
- (2025-06-16) Kain Dean: I've been using unhooked for a couple of months now via suggestion of a friend, makes my YouTube time more intentional. One suggestion I have is to have the option to completely remove the search bar, or to remove the algorithmically selected videos while searching.
- (2025-06-15) Wilson Leung: Great extension. Would be nice if there was a way to make it less easy to turn it off (delay, time schedule, etc...)
- (2025-06-15) Discord Profile: Exactly what I need, does the job.
