It was born out of frustration with the continuous addition of crap to YouTube. This extension does the following: - Restores the homepage to have six videos shown per row - Hides shorts on the homepage - Hides banners on the homepage (sports, politics, "breaking news", etc) - Prevents opening a video from automatically opening a "mix playlist" despite not being a playlist. (This is the straw the broke the camel's back) - Hides the "end screen" on videos (The video recommendation + large channel icon that often gets in the way of the video's ending) - Removes tracker URLs from embeds & from generated shared video links.
