- Noté 5 sur 5par Change Agent, il y a un anLove this add-on! I tried several others but this is the only one that actually works. It's lightweight and doesn't crash my browser. I'm using Waterfox on a PC/laptop, Windows 11. Thank you!
- Noté 5 sur 5par Marcle, il y a 2 ansGreat extension that helped me prevent wasting hours on youtube doom-watching. Now I actually search for specific videos to watch instead of letting youtube trap me. And even if I want to see my recommendations to find quality content, the hover delay helps to not overwhelm me with choices. Great extension. For the developer: I noticed sponsored video's don't get blocked right now. I'd be great if you could update that.
- Noté 4 sur 5par Can Karakadilar, il y a 3 ansIt's a wonderful add-on. It does what it says. I gave 4 because it's not easy to turn off when it's necessary. I will be glad if that is added too
- Noté 3 sur 5par Jerald, il y a 3 ansThe best add on I've ever used, I just wish i had got this sooner. Thank you so much, you don't know how greatful I am for this. Definetly recommend.
10/1/22 no longer blocks videos on recommended page, the primary waster of time - very sad now - Noté 5 sur 5par smelliot, il y a 3 ansThis extension has saved me hours of my life. I used to watch so many useless videos that I didn't need to. It single-handedly turned youtube into a powerful tool instead of a vice to be curbed.

I would like some details in this add-on. Here are two important things:
1. To be able to put the add-on icon's on top of the bookmarks bar, so I'll be able to disable sometimes with a quicker click.
2. To be able to manage what I want that shows or not, like recommendations, explore, subscriptions, etc. I would like to be able to deactivate everything except for the search results, in a search that I deliberately searched for. - Noté 4 sur 5par woodenshavings, il y a 4 ans
- Noté 5 sur 5par JDS, il y a 4 ansUniquely classy and functional UI in a lightweight addon. Deserves to earn an epic # of users and the Recommended icon.
- Noté 5 sur 5par Fábio, il y a 4 ansI have been thinking that I needed this for years!!! Thank you for making it a reality. I hope this will help me keep my youtube binge watching under control from now on.
- Noté 1 sur 5par K P, il y a 5 ansStill loads recommendations in the background. Slows down my internet. Will be looking elsewhere.
- Noté 5 sur 5par Chris, il y a 5 ansDoes what it says in the tin. I really like the hover option to reveal the recommended video. Really slows down your browsing and makes you intentional about what you want to watch

- Noté 5 sur 5par Bito, il y a 5 ansThis is an incredible add-on that does exactly what it says it does. Thank y'all for making this!
- Noté 5 sur 5par Eric, il y a 5 ansGreat job! The extension works great and is well designed. Hope this picks up more users. I'm surprised there isn't more youtube blockers, it's one of the most addicting websites out there.
- Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 15288446 de Firefox, il y a 6 ansEdit: Developer updated the add-on, I think it's great!
The add-on does exacly what is says it does in the description: "Search results and direct links are still available."
I do think it has 5 star potential, but there are some aspects bugging me.
The main one being that Subscriptions are blocked; I wouldn't consider the Subscriptions Tab as Recommendations, because those are videos that I personally choose to watch, not videos that Youtube is trying to make me watch.
The same goes for the Library tab, I think its blocked by mistake especially since the single elements of it (History, Watch Later, Playlists) are not blocked.
If the developer changed this or added a setting to make the blocking less "radical" I would definitely give it 5 stars!Réponse du développeur

That was indeed due to a bug - I forgot the disable the css responsible for blocking recommendations when navigating to a different page, so once you loaded a video page or the start page, all similar elements on other pages would also be blocked until you manually reloaded the page.
With version 1.0.3, that should be fixed now though, so things like the subscription feed or channel pages are accessible again. - Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 15275833 de Firefox, il y a 6 ansIndeed it does block the video recommendations when viewing a video, it does work as stated, re-emerging when mouse is hovered over the blank video suggestion boxes on the right side of page. Quite neat that, It'll be very handy for many people.
EDIT: And with version 1.0.2 the YT main page recommendations are blanked out as well. What more can we want from an app like this. It does what it says on the tin. It does away with those pesky 'recommendations' that YT want to force upon us, that up until a short while ago we had to toggle away manually every time we accessed the main YT page should we not want to see those recommendations. Then YT even took that ability away from us!, now with this great app it is all taken care of.
All in all with ver. 1.0.2 it is worth the full FIVE stars, this app is well worth getting. Good creative work, have not seen another program with these features. Marvellous effort.
Without the Firefox add-on developers, things would be a lot more difficult for Firefox users. So many thanks for that.Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 6 ansHey! First off, thanks for your feedback - this extension is still very much in progress, so some of the things you mentioned will definitely be improved in the future.
What exactly are you referring to in the second paragraph though? Recommendations on the main page should all be blocked, as in the screenshot on the addon page. If not, that's a bug - I'll look into that. Or are you referring to push notifications?
Also, it might be worth mentioning that this is currently not always working when navigating from a video page to the main page and back - if that's the problem, a simple page reload will fix this for now. I'll try to fix that bug later this week.
