User Reviews

Users praise UnTrap for YouTube for removing Shorts, reducing clutter, and offering strong customization, with a solid value from a one-time purchase and productivity benefits. However, recurring bugs, occasional feature instability after updates, and the move to a subscription model are common complaints. Some reviewers also report intermittent Shorts removal and broken search. Overall, it’s powerful when stable, but reliability and pricing concerns recur.

Pros

Removes Shorts and clutter, greatly improving the YouTube experience
One-time purchase with no ongoing subscription, offering good value
Rich customization and settings to tailor the YouTube experience
Improves productivity and helps users avoid doomscrolling, saving time
Developer responsiveness and fixes that restore or improve functionality after updates

Cons

Occasional bugs and glitches causing instability; not always reliable across updates
Shift to a subscription model frustrates users and invalidates some one-time purchases
Shorts removal can stop working or be inconsistent at times
Disabling Shorts can interfere with other features (e.g., Ask chat) and cause UX friction
Search functionality can break or become unavailable in some modes

I bought this expecting it to work on the YouTube app, which I greatly prefer to using Safari (I use a different browser that doesn’t support extensions). Unfortunately it only works in Safari. As an extension it functions as expected, and does a good job of limiting what you see on the page.

The extension requests permissions that allow it to view all of your browsing history all of the time. I set it to only be allowed on YouTube.com, but idk if that means they can only see my YouTube browsing history or all of my history still.
