Stop losing hours to YouTube's algorithm.
YouTube Well blocks distractions, restores the features YouTube took away, and puts you back in control of how you watch.
All options can be toggled on or off
🛡 BLOCKING
• Block ALL Shorts – Yes, even those popping within search results.
• Block Homepage – Replaces the feed with inspirational quotes + artwork from the Art Institute of Chicago
• Block Suggestions – Removes the recommended videos sidebar on watch pages
• Hide "Most Relevant" from subscriptions – Saw it once, didn't like it
• Hide Premieres from subscriptions – Some people love them some people hate them, the thing is you can CHOOSE if you want to see them or not
• Timed Peek – Unlock blocked content for 1, 3, or 5 min. It re-locks automatically. No willpower needed >:)
• Time Saved Tracker – See how much time you've reclaimed (today, this week, all time) with fun facts
🎛 CUSTOMIZED LAYOUT
• Videos Per Row – Tired of seeing only 3 videos per row on your macbook? Me too
• Sidebar Columns – Don't want to see TWO suggested videos per row? Wow, we have so much in common
• Open Shorts in search results as regular videos – Here is the thing, on some rare occasions shorts can give good info, in that case you can watch them as regular video
• Remove "Paid Promotion" label to just an icon – Issue so niche I doubt anyone will notice. If you do let me know!
🔧 UTILITIES
• Show Dislikes
• Auto-selects the Original Audio track on dubbed videos. No more surprise dubs.
⏱ TRIAL 14 days free, all features. After that, blocking keeps working with limited free peeks.
📬 Built-in feedback form in the popup. Bug reports and feature ideas welcome.
🔒 PRIVACY
No tracking (I wouldn't even know what to do with your data). No analytics. No ads. All IPs encrypted. Settings stored locally. Network requests only go to Return YouTube Dislike API, Art Institute of Chicago API, and ExtensionPay for licensing.

- I think YouTube are trying to block it? Since I downloaded it my homepage refuses to show me my suggestions and just gives me some weird ancient quote about courage, whilst it demands I remove the addon or install premium

- 👩🏻🍳👌 I'd like to see shorts tab on watch history page to still be able to control history when shorts are hidden
- itamar
- it just works! on the one hand i want to recommend it to everyone, but on the other im afraid it will reach a similar situation as other extensions getting too much attention and getting blocked XD

- Stuff's insane! Messaged the developer asking if he could add premieres hiding to my subscriptions. Week later it was added o.o
- Dorota
- Love it, I stopped browsing homepage and shorts but the most important I don't see any short while searching on youtube. And the peak option is nice, when I want to spent really short and mindful moment checking what's new on the homepage.
