User Reviews

Users praise UnTrap for YouTube for reducing distractions and hiding Shorts, with strong customization. However, multiple reviews flag performance issues: high RAM usage, memory leaks, and noticeable slowdowns, especially on mobile. Keeping up with Chrome's extension version is also a common concern; many want updates and official maintenance on Firefox. Some bugs persist, like end screens appearing despite disabling, and certain features not functioning on Android Firefox. Overall, users value the control and time-saving aspects, but optimization and timely updates are critical to broad satisfaction.

Pros

Helps reduce distractions and doomscrolling on YouTube.
Remove Shorts feature effectively hides Shorts, improving focus.
Offers extensive customization options to tailor the YouTube experience.
Described as small and lightweight by some users.

Cons

Performance impact: slows YouTube, high RAM usage, and memory leaks.
Not updated / maintenance lag: behind Chrome version and Firefox updates; requests for timely updates.
Bugs: end screens can show three videos even when endscreens are turned off; some features don't work on Android.
Mobile/Android issues: lag and functionality problems on Firefox for Android.

This is FKN awesome! Let me clarify something to you. I don't really need most of it's features, but just the fact that I could turn off almost anything, makes me happy. I just hate when websites have all kinds of restrictions. This extension gives you freedom to choose.

Used to be good, now it has become bloated with a bunch of AI crap and a subscription unfortunately. Also, it's working a lot worse and the UI is way uglier since the last update
