Prevent YouTube Mix generation for music videos
This extension stops YouTube from automatically turning music videos into Mix playlists.
Instead of forcing every video, single, or OST into an auto-generated playlist, it lets you watch only the video you clicked — no mixes with random songs added. You don’t need to worry about autoplay anymore; this extension works whether autoplay is on or off.
Configurable options:
• Keep Music Videos as Videos – Prevents YouTube from turning music videos into Mix playlists.
• Turn Mixes into Single Videos – Plays only the displayed video instead of starting the Mix playlist.
• Turn My Mix into Single Video – Plays only the selected video instead of starting "My Mix".
How it works:
• Clears unnecessary URL parameters like "&list=" and "&start_radio=1"
• Redirects you to the clean URL so only the selected video plays
Compatible browsers: All Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, etc., and Firefox on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
NEW: The extension is now available for Firefox on Android

- Mostly work, but it make that you cant use the "not interested"/"not recommend" feature (click on the 3 dot button play the video instead) I hope the dev can fix this as this is very annoying, then I will edit my review to 5 star again.

- Does nothing for me. I still see YT created mixes on my home page. The box is ticked to "Keep music videos as music videos. Prevents YouTube from turning music videos into Mix playlists." No it doesn't!
