- Recently, end-screen video suggestions have started appearing even though I have both options “Hide End Screen Cards & Feed” enabled.
- Ángel
- Now I can study without distractions. Really good!!
- Clementine
- I give my biggest applause to you developer, I can see how much psychological thought went into this. Pairing that with your programming skills to develop a project like this is very plausible. :)
- Bobby Jones
- Productivity increased dramatically when using my personal account to browse academic videos. No more random YouTube drama pestering me in the corner of my eye.
- Y C CHANNEL
- I am really flattered as i saw the hide shorts option for which i am giving it a 5 star. no recomendation is greeat but no shorts is absolutely outstanding feature i was seeking for.
- Abigail Loghry
- This extension is so simple and so effective! I love the clean look of just watching the video I clicked on through my google search, with no clutter or distractions or temptations. It's so amazing that this is free and has no ads! Also, it's very customizable as far as what you do and don't want to see, and so easy and simple to adjust. No extra features, just a very effective and easy product.
- Sevda
- an amazing extension! love the efficacy!
- Shreeram
- Been working good so far, Now that since youtube has updated, need an update for the recommended screens which comes below the video in full screen for Chrome PC
- Martin Berisso
- Amazing. Useful. Great.
- Michael J Beninate
- Youtube knows me. It knows what I like and will feed to me more of what I like. Adding Unhook helps me to not partake in everything that I like to the detriment of my time. I will turn Unhook off if I am searching for reviews and information about a product or topic. When I do that, it is clear to see just how much time Unhook saves me. All of the things that Youtube serves to me return. This extension was mentioned in a comment section of a video. I'm glad that person mentioned it. I write about it at times in other comments that I make so others can be freed too.
- Kunj Bihari Pandit
- Excellent extension as it allows users to customise exactly what they need on their youtube page.
- Sanjana Sharma
- Absolutely amazing, much needed extension. It blocks all things shown on your youtube (except subscriptions and other basic settings). You come to a blank slate, bringing back agency to choose what you want to watch and you directly search for it. Super grateful for this extension.
- Vishal Shrivastav
- plz update, and remove element with class = "ytp-fullscreen-grid"
- Dan Nichols
- Phenomenal It is not blocking youtube Shorts anymore, would love an update for 2025 to fix this. From a grateful donor, will be glad to donate again.

- Legal
- Aleksandar Borisov
- The last YouTube redesign does break it especially by creating some unnecessary white space.
- Giorgio (GiorgioMaXv)
- works well and does what it says it does
- Aaron M.
- Great extension but is no longer hiding shorts in my search feeds so it needs an update. Had to install another extension just to get rid of shorts in my searches.
- Magomed Ibragimov
- ENDSCREENS have appeared recently, please update the extension
- shivam kumar

- Edward Passagi
- this is great
- Kaan Kibritçi
- we need uptade. some features dont work with the new youtube version.
- Ariyan Rahman
- one of the best extention i ever seen!!!!!!
- Taktaagic
- I can't thank this extension enough for improving YouTube for me. I like using a lot of things things with as little distractions as possible, and this does exactly what I want and more! The only issue right now is that, probably because of the recent YouTube update, endscreens aren't being disabled anymore, so hopefully that can get fixed.
- Yahrite Fohb
- Was greeted with cringe end card clickbait thumbnails today. Please fix.
- Peter Jensen
- dosen´t hide endscreens!!
- Fisk Lundgreen
- I sometimes have university classes link to YouTube videos for assignments or use YouTube to find quick tutorials for research. I discovered, looking at my watch history that the recommended videos would distract me and suck me into the YouTube vortex after watching the class or instructional video. This simple and easy-to-use extension makes YouTube a simple video player rather than a soul/time sucking monster when my limited will power eventually fails to refuse the temptation to watch those perfected tailored selections of videos. This is a real quality of life improvement! Thanks!
- K M
- its awesome but lately some features have not been working correctly; shorts are no longer being blocked and the end screen recommendations have popped up now. i think youtube is slowly coding around this extension.
- J Barron
- Rating five stars for years of reliable service, but seems to no longer work with YouTube's latest update.
- neeru bhardwaj
- Have been using this for a while now, and I got no complaints. Simple GUI, no excess cosmetics, and does what it should be used for.
- H D
- Pretty good, has a lot of features. I find however that Hide Irrelevant Search Results doesn't seem to work as YT still peppers in random videos in between genuine search results. Also, would it be possible to add a feature to block specific buttons like Clip? Or change the button layout so all are displayed by default. YT keeps changing this, sometimes the Save button is immediately displayed, sometimes it's hidden in the ··· additional menu. Thank you
- Ryan Kaczur
- shorts still appear in search
- Justė Venclovaitė
- It helps so much
- Methshan Witharana
- Finally an extension that actually does what it is supposed to
- Danish Family
- works well , does the job
- Pabriv
- Please add a Hide Members content button, to hide all videos for Members only, its very annoying when YouTube pushes members content when you are not a member,
