tl;dr: Not updated in two years, likely abandoned and you should avoid it. Will cause unexpected issues sooner or later.

Used to be good and greatly improved the YouTube experience but hasn't been updated in two years as of writing and functionality is breaking more and more as YouTube changes. Unless you only want a specific thing function and can confirm it does that, don't expect it to work smoothly. Expect changes from YouTube to have unexpected consequences at any time.

has been really useful to minimize distractions! there are just moments where the Shorts still show when browsing a searched video. i hope you update this one

Abandoned, high ratings are 2+ years old. Unhook has a symbiotic relationship with "Improve YouTube!" -- both are broken as of 2026 without the other. Features breaking with every new YT and FF update,eg, Endcards no longer hide. Feels like the end of an era of peak YouTube extensions

This extension partially stopped working in November 2025. After researching alternatives, I believe that the following one is the most up to date and fully featured: "UnTrap for YouTube"

Thanks for developing this

"Hide end screen feed" feature doesn't work quite well - it only hides part of the feed.
Checked both on Firefox and Chrome, and even disabled all Chrome extensions but Unhook, restarted Chrome, nothing changed. It needs an update, I guess.

This would be a great add-on if the developers made sure it's consistently up to date. I've been having issues with embedded YouTube videos for months now, on both Firefox and Chrome. It just doesn't work as it should, causing embedded youtube videos not to play at all. Can also produce flickering that can be very annoying, and may potentially trigger seazures in people with epilepsy.

Works very well, i finally got rid of the Youtube Short slop when i try to find for something, it's honestly really annoying try to search for a video and only see slop

A Must-Have

Really great, but as of late the "hide explore, trending" options hides the "You" menu instead, which includes history, playlists and all kind of stuff I actually want to be available. Please fix it.
