    I think this is the perfect youtube extension, the only downside is that I gotta use another one on android, if you'd change the id version in the manifest.json file so that it's available on the android firefox broswer that'd be great. Otherwise, keep up the great work!

    Removes the annoying navigation bar on the left that keeps opening on every page outside of videos. But to get it back, you have to toggle the option back off in the addon's menu. Still does exactly what I wanted it to though!

    Great plugin - many thanks for developers - it's just what i was looking for.
    PS. Sometimes it's not work( youtube work as usual - all suggestion and panels on their places) and i don't understand why.

    Glad to hear it :)

    Does it still not work sometimes? There have been a few updates that should've helped

    Coming from chrome i was scared this wasn't going to be as well maintained on Firefox, but so far it has been working flawlessly! However, on a portrait monitor while hiding the recommendations the player doesn't scale well when switching out of theater mode.

    woo, team Firefox! :D

    Yea, the extra whitespace from where the sidebar suggestions are hidden looks a bit odd. Might try to fix one day.

    Fantastic idea for an add-on! I totally recommend this.

    Bugs/Issues I found (Version 3.1.1, Firefox Windows 10 ver. 71.0):
    - suggestions/comments still show if a video is accessed from outside of youtube (google, whatsapp, pasting link, etc.)
    - suggestions/comments still show if a video page is refreshed (e.g. to fix buffering), or accessed by pressing the previous/next page buttons
    - suggestions/comments still show if a video page is accessed via the suggestions side-bar (that shows up because of the above points)
    - once suggestions/comments show (while blocked), they won't disappear until you close all youtube tabs, and access the site again from the homepage.

    Suggestion:
    - Have an option to disable youtube autoplay as well (as it's another distraction)

    Thanks for the feedback WaveOfWaves!

    I can't seem to recreate these issues, but I'll be sure to keep an eye out.

    No longer works, it will block user uploaded videos but movies are now showing up on the sidebar. It's a good extension, but it just needs that bug fixed to be perfect.

    Thanks for the review! Movie suggestions should now be blocked as of this latest version.

    UPD4. my bad, sorry! When "homepage" checkbox is active, then homepage is just "blank". I'd like to have updates of my channels, and no "suggestions". Not to remove everything.

    Oh no! I’d like to fix that. Do you mind telling me your OS and Firefox version?

    edit: hmm I can't reproduce it. Is there anything unusual about your setup?

    edit2: that's the intention of this addon
