| 2024-01-16 |  | | en | Great extension, but needs password protection real bad. Or rather I need this add-on to be password protected, I can't trust myself that I won't simply turn it off. |
| 2024-01-09 |  | | en | Apparently it removes the recommendations from the sidebar & search but not from the home feed. Probably this one is related to certain bug for either new Chrome or Manifest V3. A bug fix for the app would be nice. Thanks. |
| 2023-12-11 |  | | en | It works perfectly (as of dec 11th)! This really stops me from mindlessly consuming videos. The only reason why it's not 5 stars: It would be really helpful if there was a separate category just for podcasts. The ‘People and Blogs’ category tends to include videos that aren’t exactly podcasts. Having a dedicated podcast category would make things a lot easier. Thanks so much for this extension! |
