User reviews

Großartige Extension, um die ganzen nervigen empfohlenen Videos und andere Elemente (wie bspw. die Home) zu blocken. Sehr gute Anpassungsmöglichkeiten. Leider kann die Extension nicht die Youtube-Suche fixen, die auch immer mehr Videos mit "hohem Engagement" statt der eigentlichen Suchanfrage erhält. Aber dafür kann der Entwickler nichts.
