Great extension! Been using it for a few months now and its been unbelievably helpful in helping me stay focused Thank you Adam!!
Love it :=) Hope you can get it back and running Adam
Stopped working as of today.
Noice this extension. Thanks for the 2.6.1 update on GitHub;I've installed it manually.
I have installed 2.6.1 from github but setting "Hidden (except when hovered)" is not working
This worked perfectly for me, but it has suddenly stopped working. Any help or assistance available?
stopped working for me
hidden mode has stop working
Recently solid color stopped working
Best PICK!!
Works, would be a nice addition to remove channel icons as well. Thanks much man
Works fine but including the video length in the hidden [thumbnails] option would be useful.
excellent extension, a small bug tho, when I go inot my playlists, it doesn't blurr the thumbnails of the playlists, which is the thumbnal of the first video in the playlist, but when I disable thumbnails altogether it works, it disables all tnails even my playlists'
Thnakyou for saving my precious time :) I 'm Looking for more such useful features. Thankyou again .., May God Bless u ..Lots of blessings and love from India
great addon
Thanks a lot. It works when I want it to work. keep it up!!
I just installed this and found a configuration menu inside the app, which let me select to only remove thumbnails from the my playlist overview but still see them in search and the suggestion panel on the right side. Just as I like it. The playlist menu is still formatted with lines of 4 playlists(as youtube formatted it) but the stupid irritating enormous and useless "thumbnails" have gone.
Downloaded/added to Chrome, refreshed youtube page, preview thumbnails STILL cover entire video by the end, ruining the video. Doesn't work.
Thanks a lot, great extension. Are there plans to add a feature to disable user avatars?
Nice Extension ! Using it since May 2024 No BS just straight to the point I like it :)
Got fixed by yt
I loved this extension, but it does not work on playlists
Excellent it works
hey it had been working fine but then it suddenly stopped working... can you check if anything breaks or is there a way for me to debug?
Fantastic!!!
Please add option also for youtube shorts
Great extension.
We all like Youtube, well we all have to use it at least, that's why we're here. But we all know how clickbaity and falsified and yea... plain distracting the thumbnails are. So I just did a quick search for something not knowing if it existed, and it works, perfectly, immediately. With no fuss. Thanks. You're a real developer for the people.
Does the job.
Thanks for developing this masterpiece it works well
A Godsend
Thanks! Now I don't have to see R34 thumbnails!
This extension is alright. It does look odd with nothing there besides the name of the video but I don't like these people with weird thumbnails I'll still rate it 5.

This extension is a gem! Thank you developer for making it!! 💙
WORKS GREAT!
amazing!! helps my productivity so much and keeps me focused
Perfect, would be even more awesome if it would work with the ad blocker i have. Don't know if this information means anything to you Adam but when I'm in blurred mode it wont work but if I'm in hidden mode it does(just not fully for my ad blocker).
perfect
Greatly needed extension, I appreciate your efforts :-) As others have pointed out, would be useful to have video lengths still be shown. Btw, info for anyone for whom the extension isn't working: It clashes indeed with other youtube extensions. For me, I couldn't set this on at the same time as Unhooked.
Would be excelent, but the fact that I can no longer see which videos I've watched already or the lenght of videos, It kinda ruined the thing for me.
for some reason it doesent work, i have no idea , other youtube extencions work just fine but this one for no aparent reason just doesent .
10/10 i love this extension but is there a way where i can also see the length of the video? it would be really helpfull to know thank you for your amazing work
thank you so much it is so wonder full
just leaving a review :)

BEST EXTENSION EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR TAKE ALL OF MY MONEY PLEASE Adam Jones you are the MF man and are doing "god's work." I even went a step further and used your advice to access the "blur" filter. YOU FKKKKKKKKKKKKIN ROCK

Thank you for the extension, an option to show how long the video will be greatly appreciated, as a student it's kind of a requirement to know how long the lecture is and all ;)
