Remove Addictive Elements from Youtube

YouTube can be an incredible learning tool, but its recommendations, homepage, Shorts feed, and autoplay are designed to keep you watching for as long as possible.

A simple solution is to install the Unhook browser extension. It allows you to remove addictive elements such as recommended videos, the homepage feed, comments, Shorts, and autoplay while keeping access to the videos you intentionally search for.

Think of it as turning YouTube from an entertainment machine back into a tool. You still get the content you want, but with far fewer distractions competing for your attention.
