User reviews

UnTrap for YouTube is praised for its robust customization options that help users curb YouTube addiction by making the platform less tempting without blocking access. Users appreciate features like disabling shorts scrolling and hiding distractions for increased productivity. However, multiple reviews mention minor bugs such as incomplete hiding of UI elements, layout conflicts with other extensions, and an overly easy disable process. Performance improvements are also desired. Overall, it is highly recommended for its effectiveness and customization despite minor issues.
