Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Hides videos that are considered recommended videos. This includes the YouTube home and trending pages, as well as the related videos appearing below or to the side of video playback. Recommended videos appearing after videos are also declined. Searches, subscriptions, history, library and channels are unaffected.

The point is to get the recommended videos out of sight, in order to decrease the risk of users getting stuck clicking on recommended videos for hours.

User reviews

Most of the videos in my "watch later" list is random videos I added from Youtube recommendation. Sometimes I can add upto 10-20 videos and after I watched them, I'll just add more. It is an endless circle. This plug-in really helped me to increase my productivity, by spending less time on Youtube and that I only watch the stuff I subscribed to. Love it!

Somehow just seeing that blank space next to the video is immediately soothing to my soul. You really don't realize how much the endless feed of recommendations tugs at your attention until it's gone! Being able to look up a video without getting stuck in the infinite "up next" loop is probably gonna save people hours of their day, to the point that the increase in productivity could be measured in millions of dollars!
