Hide YouTube recommendations and Shorts so YouTube stays useful instead of turning into an autoplay slot machine.

Features & Capabilities

I built this to cut down on algorithmic junk, compulsive scrolling, and low-effort recommendation loops. The goal is simple: make YouTube usable on purpose.

This add-on hides recommendation-heavy surfaces, suppresses Shorts, and can redirect the home page or direct Shorts links to Subscriptions. Search, playlists, subscriptions, and direct video links still work, because the point is control, not sabotage.

It is intentionally local and minimal:

no analytics no telemetry no remote config no external services settings stored only in local browser storage

Yes, it was built with AI. That is the joke. The add-on exists to reduce the amount of machine-optimized sludge competing for attention in the first place.

Is YouTube Hide Recommendations Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

YouTube Hide Recommendations requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

YouTube Hide Recommendations is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
