| 2024-12-03 |  | | en | Just installed and I still see the "shorts" section on my youtube "subscriptions" page. Edit: By default, nothing is turned off, and it's not clear how to get into the config panel to make changes. I eventually found it though and was able to turn off what I wanted. Only 3 stars because most people are gonna give up when they can't find the config page. |

| 2024-11-20 |  | | en | So far fantastic! Exactly what I've always wanted. |
| 2024-10-04 |  | | en | absolutely Love it *chef's kiss* |
| 2024-09-25 |  | | en | Amazing! Really helps me fight with my procrastination. Love how you can choose what to display and what not to at any of youtube screens separately The only thing I recognized while using - it looks like three dots under the video are not working anymore - so I cant add any vids to my playlists. Talking about them too - can you add an option to hide all thumbnails from playlists, please? Thank you so much, Benjamin! Hi again- giving you more feedback after using the extension for a while and giving you all of the answers: It looks like the problem with those three dots is fixing itself when Im turning the recommendations panel on video at "on" position. I meant https://www.youtube.com/feed/playlists as playlist page Plus its always some delay before extension hides all of the videos or/and thumbnails at the main page. Sometimes it doesnt work at all when Im on channel panel< and I have to reload the page to fix it I hide everything and everywhere except video and description, yes. Thank you for your response and development! Best wishes |

| 2024-09-07 |  | | en | Hey Benjamin!! What a great extension. I feel like you put all the necessary things in one: - unhook - Youtube-shorts block - Hide Youtube thumbnails May I suggest to also have the channel page, as when you go to one (https://www.youtube.com/@veritasium) you still see all those thumbnails :) Thanks again! |
| 2024-09-04 |  | | zh | 我想要在頻道的搜尋鈕中呈現橫向排列顯示，因為直向顯示YT似乎會卡死。 I want a horizontal display in the channel's search button because YT seems to freeze when displayed vertically. |
| 2024-08-26 |  | | en | Get's rid of all dopamine. Great for self-improvement. Im happy :D |
| 2024-08-07 |  | | en | As promised: full 5 stars for adding filter on the Subscriptions page as well. Also why do you need to read browser history? |
