Really love this application; I've only just installed it and I cannot believe how great it is! I forgot how YouTube used to look before it fought for every iota of my attention.

Thank you, Unhook!

Protecting the people from engineered addiction.

Probably my favourite extension!

I've been using this extension for many months and I must say, it changed my life.

I used to spend 8 to 12 hours a day on average watching youtube videos and couldn't bring myself to do anything else. I had developed an addiction to scrolling through the home feed and mindlessly watching recommended video after recommended video non-stop all day.

After installing this extension (and also NewPipe on my phone) I slowly stopped watching so much youtube and, not only that, since I could only see my subscriptions, I would gear these towards my personal interests and the skills I wanted to learn.

Nowadays I only get around 10 to 15 videos a day on my subscriptions feed (I'm subbed to 182 channels in total) and watch 2 to 5 videos at most, some of which have to do with learning computer science, programming and cybersecurity which are topics I've been very interested in lately. And I don't watch these videos mindlessly anymore, since I want to learn more about these topics I've started to study them, write down the things I learn and then either apply what I've learned or look further for more videos on the topic at hand, all without the distraction of the home feed or the recommendations bar on the right side.

Thanks to the creator for making such a good extension and for changing my life, and possibly the lives of many others :)

I've been using this for a week or so. I does exactly what I've been looking for and is making youtube less of an attention blackhole.

For half a minute I was unhappy that the "play next" button was gone, as well, but fortunately Shift+N still plays the next video. :-)

This clean & simple extension prevents YouTube rabbit holes better than anything else I've seen. Search for the things YOU want to search for and get the results YOU asked for.

This is precisely what I was looking for. The add-on has the option of selecting settings granularly, so that I can, for example, deactivate everything in the sidebar except for transcripts. It works pretty well in both Firefox and Chrome on Windows.

It does not work for me at all. There are still recommendation videos both on home page aswell as on the side panels of videos I watch.
