This is an open-source extension that changes homepage of Youtube (only search bar) and drops recommendations/comments from other pages.
Extension requires access to Youtube website to change its outlook.

You can hover over the YouTube logo to access the navigation menu – playlists, liked videos, watch history, etc.
Enjoy <3
Important: the extension doesn't collect any data about Youtube usage.
