Review summary

Users find 'Rabbit Hole for YouTube™' highly effective in blocking distracting YouTube content, enhancing productivity and focus. Its simple and clean interface with toggle options is appreciated, as well as motivational elements. However, multiple users report it stops working properly, especially after YouTube updates. It fails to block newer features like comments and Shorts fully and lacks advanced customization. Technical issues with settings toggles and absence of incognito mode support are notable drawbacks. Overall, while valued for its concept and basic functionality, stability and feature completeness need improvement.
Pros
  • Effectively reduces distractions on YouTube by blocking recommended videos and feeds, which helps improve focus and productivity.
  • Very easy to use with a clean, simple UI and toggle options for blocking subscriptions, home feed, and trends.
  • Motivational features such as a cute bunny and messages encourage users to avoid the "rabbit hole" of endless video watching.
  • Helpful for students and people struggling with YouTube addiction by preventing temptation from recommended content.
  • Users appreciate the idea and request features like incognito mode and dark mode for further improvements.
Cons
  • Extension is not working properly or at all for many users, possibly due to recent YouTube updates.
  • Does not block all parts of YouTube, such as comments, Shorts, and newer additions, limiting its effectiveness.
  • Lacks options for detailed customization of what to block, which some users find limiting.
  • Settings toggles sometimes do not apply changes reliably, causing confusion or ineffective blocking.
  • No incognito mode support, which many users request to help manage distractions in private browsing.

en So amazingly helpful. Incredibly easy to switch the settings if you want, (which means it is easily gotten around if you're not disciplined) but for me it was amazingly helpful.

en Doesn't block all parts of YouTube, especially the newer additions. I use the Intentional app instead (https://www.tryintentional.com/).

en This is incredible! I do think there is a small bug. If you uncheck the subscriptions box and open home through the button on your subscriptions page it breaks the extention and you can see videos in home
