Description from store

Do you find yourself getting hooked by Youtube's recommended and related videos, but you don't want to deprive yourself completely of Youtube?
This extension still lets you search and play videos, but hides the parts of Youtube that are unneeded and addictive: the front page recommendation feed, the related videos in the sidebar and end screen, and the comments.

(Note: if you only want a subset of those things hidden, try HabitLab by Stanford)

you tube 2024-12-26: thanks for creating this!
tushar kaushik 2024-10-22: Thanks for creating this, but need easier option to disable and re-enable this, currently we have to go in settings and then disable it. Can you make it done maybe from the menu or clicking the extension icon. Thanks
BuTech 2024-10-10: Good, but some features are broken (I can see it hasn't been updated since 2022...). Using ProdYouTivity instead which also allows me to remove Shorts.
Sevan Kumar 2024-09-19: Yeah, I find it very useful, thanks to the the Pamela fox.
DILIP PRAJAPATI 2024-08-24: IT IS VERY USEFULL
Shreyash Jadhav 2024-08-19: It is useful.
Nijil Raj 2024-08-12: Very useful. Serves the purpose.
Keshav 2024-08-03: it's great. it does what it is supposed to do. But it also removes comments. I watch programming tutorials and stuff. When I get stuck, comments do help. if this extension can make comments visible or not(depends on the user). Then it will be 10x better.
FFP priyansh 2024-06-19: plze add feature to stop shorts
Akhil Surapuram 2024-06-18: Feature request: include blocking of shorts
Alejandro de Anda 2024-06-16: I can see the usefulness of the extension but without choosing what to block it's not as useful for me.
Vince Lam 2024-05-13: Great extension! Would love if we could choose what we can block and unblock. Sometimes the comment section is where the true insight lies and it'd be great if this could show but everything else remain blocked. That way we would not need to stop and resume the extension, and risk procrastinating!
Vikalp Bordekar 2024-05-08: this extension has been very helpful for me to take lectures on youtube without getting distracted by the recommendations and focus better on my studies, thanks chad.
Madison Cernecca 2024-04-23: This has helped me so much! However, Youtube recently changed its layout to have the recommended tab positioned underneath the video you are watching, instead of to the side. This seems to have messed with the extension so you can still see recommended videos. Please fix this!!!
Advik Yadav 2024-04-16: nice extension for don't distrub mode. it very helpful for students who were taking online class from youtube.
Atharva Singh Parihar 2024-04-03: Helped me a lot during me online studies.

Vishal Kumhar 2023-11-17: Easy and Simple
Mary Kolleth 2023-03-18: Wonderful! Truly has made my life better, I think. I'm going to echo what I saw a few other people in these reviews saying - please make an update that takes away the "shorts" features if you can! I would be really grateful. I don't like the content at all but something about it is addicting and I find myself stuck in that rabbit-hole way more than I would like to be. Thank you! :-)

Saamiyah Sheikh 2023-01-23: This extension is so useful for a student like me who studies from YouTube. Just a suggestion if I could also disable the Shorts feature with the extension. It would be perfect for "distracted and obsessed with YouTube" people like me :)

Apekiller 2022-10-28: this completely breaks youtube as it disables quite a lot of things and there is no way to configure it.

Mohammed Khan 2019-03-13: Good extension, however I wish there were more toggle options rather than just everything being blocked. For example, I want to keep comments on but everything else off, so now every time I want to comment on a video I need to disable the extension, comment and the re enable it :/
