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)

Recent reviews

This has helped me so much! However, Youtube recently changed its layout to have the recommended tab positioned underneath the video you are watching, instead of to the side. This seems to have messed with the extension so you can still see recommended videos. Please fix this!!!

ME GUSTA PERO HABILITEN UNA OPCIÓN PARA LEER LOS COMENTARIOS, A VER SI REQUIERO VER UN VIDEO EDUCATIVO Y ME INTERESA SABER SI EL CONTENIDO ES DE CALIDAD CON LAS RESEÑAS, NO ME GUSTA TENER QUE DESHABILITAR POR COMPLETO A LA EXTENSIÓN PARA PODER VERLO
