## Description

This simple extension's replaces Youtube's homepage with the subscriptions page. It also removes the related videos from the sidebar and at the end of a video. Works on both Desktop and Mobile.

Why? Time is our most valuable asset, yet YouTube’s algorithm is designed to keep us watching longer than we intended. It’s easy to fall into a rabbit hole of endless recommendations, turning a quick five-minute visit into hours of mindless scrolling.

This extension ensures that you only see content from channels you’ve intentionally subscribed to, eliminating external recommendations. To access content on YouTube, you’ll need to subscribe to a few channels—so choose them wisely.

Let's make Youtube a healthier place.
