Hiding watched videos works on the home page, but hides all suggested videos when on a video's page.

В описании написано что расширение убирает shorts. В реальности оно пытается лишь убрать кнопку shorts, но даже этого не может сделать и вместо нее убирает кнопку Подписки. Посмеялся вголос и удалил нафиг это недоразумение.

A great way to stop myself from watching Shorts, thanks! Maybe change the color of the pause and play button on the top right, too visible now.

This really helps. It stops me from wasting time (and sometimes sanity) in the comment section. I never knew just watching videos and not scrolling endlessly through comments can be that refreshing, thank you Moonhythe.

Used it to see the Upload Date which YouTube decided they didn't want us, the viewer, to know. Works great.
Stefani Mitova
Probably the best extension for YouTube. Really useful, customizable and user friendly. I strongly recommend it to all users!
