This works exceptionally well to remove all the distractions and annoyingly excessive 'fake news' videos in the sidebar. This is THE BEST YT distraction blocker so far. The others eventually 'break' YT functionality completely. However this one might use your computer as a proxy doing who knows what to who knows whom?? The TOS is too broad for my liking. Make sure you understand what you are agreeing to before installing this addon.

High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

YT Unhook - Remove YouTube Distractions may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
