- (2024-11-06) Maxime: Do you often go down the rabbit hole on YouTube and regret it later? If you do, please install this extension. It will save a lot of your precious time and help you have a healthier relationship to YouTube. Thank you Unhook, you make the world a better place ^^
- (2024-06-29) Yousef Slimani: Very useful extension to remove something from youtube you don't really like! IMO I don't like seeing video recommendations from youtube while I'm watching the video! why because youtube always recommending me these garbage videos whenever I watched any video and it always popped up on the third list! Yep very useful for getting rid of them! (I can't seems to get rid of playlist that keep showing up on my recommendation screen! PLEASE Update!!!!!!!)
- (2024-02-24) Ray Ximers: Большое спасибо за то, что освободили меня от манипуляций корпорации "добра".
- (2024-02-23) Stephen Frank: I was using DFtube until YouTube latest update a few days ago which not only made the extension to stop working but also increased the aggressiveness of the recommended video feeds. I started digging for a solution and found this extension which works good but the only problem for me is that it hides video comments section which I do enjoy reading I must confess. I didn't have that issue while using DFTube - as I could toggle video comments on - and would have gladly given this extension a 5 star if it had provided me with same functionality.
- (2024-01-28) David: The YT suggestion algo is designed to hook you in and suck the life out of you slowly but surely. Fight back with unhook and enjoy an increase in peace and serenity.
- (2024-01-13) Anna: Amazing extension. Once you try it, you can't go without it. Wanted to report a bug though. I have bookmarked Youtube on my bookmarks bar, and for some reason the extension causes the bookmark to get triggered by mouse hovering (without having to click on the bookmark). Some times I accidentally pass my mouse over it while dragging tabs and it is annoying that my page gets re-directed to Youtube. Wondering if anyone else has come across that.
- (2024-01-13) Vivien Aubke: Please implement shortcuts. I want to be able to enable and disable the video sidebar with a simple keyboard click.
- (2023-11-14) Rama Gakii: If you have challenges with focusing, this is the best extension for you. I saved a lot of time by turning it on. Now I am not addicted to clicking on recommendations or watching the next video. Thank you so much to the developer, and I encourage everyone to DONATE, this is an extremely helpful app if you want to FOCUS on one video and then go back to doing other productive matters.
- (2023-11-10) Maxim Müller: Really good extension with a lot of settings. Does what it should perfectly. Thank you!
- (2023-11-09) Said Mammadli: Perfect!
- (2023-11-07) Matías Pacheco: Increíble. Me lo recomendaron y es más de lo que esperaba. 11/10.
- (2023-11-06) cuckoo head: It's a must have if you want to take your free time back and put it to good use instead of falling down the youtube rabbit hole. Also that person who said "Useless. Doesn't do anything. And most of the reviews read like fake reviews." is most likely an idiot that couldn't figure out how to turn the extension on lol
- (2023-11-06) Dakota Fiereck: works great
- (2023-11-06) Ola Winje: Perfect to remove distractions, and super configurable. Now I only turn on Notifications when I have time to catch the content. Before that the notifications were catching me 24/7.
- (2023-11-04) Jason Potter: Useless. Doesn't do anything. And most of the reviews read like fake reviews.

- (2023-10-27) Max Galbraith: This extension is so helpful when it comes to productivity. YouTube is one of the best platforms to gain knowledge and learn new things but it's also the biggest entertainment website. It's very easy to get distracted by other things on YouTube and UnHook gives you a customisable way to block out any distractions. It is a MUST HAVE for anybody who gets distracted while watching YouTube for genuinely helpful reasons and wants to stop entertainment videos from popping up.
- (2023-10-26) Alfonso Gutierrez: This is dope. Huge W for my life I was able to eliminate most distractions on my phone but needed that extra push to eliminate PC distractions. Super customizable as well so 10/10
- (2023-10-24) Luka Fedin: Does what it says. No complaints on my behalf.
- (2023-10-24) Baxton: Super
- (2023-10-24) Mikko Välisalmi: Although it's hard to estimate, I'd guess that this extension will increase my lifetime earnings by thousands of €/$. Less time wasted, clearer headspace -> massively increased productivity and life satisfaction.
- (2023-10-24) Jubayer Ahmad: It is not just saving my time, it literally saving my life! <3
- (2023-10-23) Syed Muhammad Kumail Rizvi: 100% recommended to boost productivity and focus and not just mindlessly watching self help podcasts without putting in the work.
