YouTube Hide Recommendations von Khromedome3

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.
