Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Do you find yourself getting hooked by Youtube's recommended and related videos, but you don't want to deprive yourself completely of Youtube? This extension still lets you search and play videos, but hides the parts of Youtube that are unneeded and addictive: the front page recommendation feed, the related videos in the sidebar and end screen, and the comments.

(Note: if you only want a subset of those things hidden, try HabitLab by Stanford)

Thanks for creating this, but need easier option to disable and re-enable this, currently we have to go in settings and then disable it. Can you make it done maybe from the menu or clicking the extension icon. Thanks

Good, but some features are broken (I can see it hasn't been updated since 2022...). Using ProdYouTivity instead which also allows me to remove Shorts.
