YouTube Control: Shorts Blocker & Hide Feed vishwa-vsr توسط

YouTube Control is a all-in-one browser extension designed to help you reclaim your focus and create a distraction-free viewing experience on YouTube.

Instead of installing multiple add-ons to hide feeds, block shorts, blur thumbnails, and dock comments, YouTube Control bundles all these features into a single, clean dashboard.

• Feed & Navigation Control:
• Hide Home Feed: Remove the recommended video grid on the homepage to prevent click-traps.
• Hide Shorts & Playables: Remove the distracting Shorts feed and mini-games completely.
• Hide Explore Panel: Remove trending and film links from the sidebar.
• Hide Subscriptions & 'You' Sections: Clean up your sidebar by hiding channel lists and playlists.
• Watch Experience Enhancements:
• Hide Recommended Videos: Block the sidebar suggestions list on video pages.
• Hide Comments & Chat: Disable comments and live chat boxes.
• Hide Buttons & Stats: Hide subscribe buttons, likes count, and views count to focus purely on content.
• Hide Top Header: Hide the search bar and header navigation.
• Visual Styling & Detox:
• Blur Thumbnails: Soften thumbnail images until you hover your mouse over them, stopping clickbait visual traps.
• Black & White Mode: Apply a calm grayscale filter to YouTube's elements (keeping the video player in full color).
• Block Ambient Mode: Disable the player's glowing background to save computer power and battery.
• Premium Layouts & Utilities:
• Dock Comments to Sidebar: Move the comments section next to the video player so you can read discussions side-by-side without scrolling.
• Sticky Video Player: Keep the video player pinned at the top-right of your screen while you scroll comments.
• Video Screenshot Button: Capture clean, full-resolution video frames instantly with a single click.
• Mini Fullscreen Mode: Watch videos in window borderless mode.

YouTube Control operates 100% locally on your computer. We do not collect, track, or share any personal data or browsing history. No data ever leaves your device.
