YouTube Essentials di Nicolas Milliard

A cleaner, more intentional YouTube experience with less noise and more control.

YouTube Essentials removes distracting content from YouTube while keeping intentional viewing at the center.

Hide Shorts from navigation, search results, and recommendations. Remove Playables and videos featured by YouTube from the Home feed. Use Quiet watch to hide the sidebar and recommendations on video pages. You can optionally keep Shorts available when visiting a creator's channel and open YouTube on your Subscriptions feed by default.

The extension is lightweight and privacy-friendly: no account, no analytics, no tracking, and no external requests. Your preferences stay locally in your browser.
