User reviews

TubeMod is highly praised for its simplicity, ease of use, and the level of customization it brings to YouTube, allowing users to remove unwanted content like Shorts and 'People Also Search For'. Users appreciate its straightforward toggling of features and its ability to personalize the YouTube experience extensively. However, some users report regional inconsistencies in feature effectiveness and performance issues causing slowdowns during certain actions. There are also requests for more granular control over UI elements and additional features like video previews and chat replay hiding. The add-on is currently desktop-only, with no mobile support.
