Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
Like other social media platforms, YouTube is very good at showing you content that you want to watch but weren't planning to or looking for, making it super easy to get distracted and get sucked into one video after another and suddenly lose an hour of your day. Yet there are so many valuable resources and videos that you can't find elsewhere: tutorials, event coverage, specific creators you subscribe to who you know always publish high-quality content worth watching. For many of us, the value of YouTube makes it worth the sacrifice of even its most distracting possibilities, and it's impossible to just cut away.
What if it didn't have to be this way? What if you could have the good of YouTube, see the content you want to see, without the platform constantly trying to drag your attention through an endless stream of productivity-draining drudgery?
This is the philosophy behind YouTube Liberation. It's time to rise up, lose your chains, and join us as we march our way towards a better YouTube!
YouTube Liberation works by hiding elements that lead you towards new content you don't intend to see, without compromising any core viewing features. These elements include:
- The entire home page of alg-generated recommendations
- Video recommendations on watch pages

رائعة! مجرد ازالة المحتوى المقترح تجعل الشخص يركز على هدفه
I totally agree that a extension like this is absolutely necessary. It's so easy for you to get lost on the billions of videos recommended by youtube and forget what you're gonna look for. This one works well, but I did uninstall it and will look for another anti-youtube distraction extension because it hides even my own playlists. I have a watch later playlist and a study playlist, but with Youtube liberation I cannot see it.
It broke the youtube homepage for me. couldn't load it until I disabled the extension.
USELESS. I tried to apply it bas an ad blocker for YouTube (I cannot afford premium), and it made the YouTube home page completely blank. I couldn't adjust three settings, either. Maybe my laptop is out of date, but this app isn't good if you want to use it for annoying ad-free entertainment. I like to sleep with YouTube on, but not happy with loud, obnoxious game demos or sales pitches for businesses I have no interest in. I had Ad Block for a brief while, but it failed after that. Then I tried another, and Chrome claimed today that it had malware, so that, too is now gone. Meanwhile, ads on YouTube are worse than ever in quantity, and they do their best to keep pushing Premium. So not fair. I understand ads pay costs, but do not overdo it or insert them in the middle of a sentence or important message.
Excellent. Right on Utility.
como eu pago um café pro criador dessa extensão????
Watch History turned off, Return YouTube Dislike, SponsorBlock for YouTube, DeArrow, Youtube-shorts block, uBlock Origin and this. Finally, YouTube free from rabbit holes and nonsense <3 As of writing this, it appears the sidebar replacement is bugged and won't appear.
It really decimates the site, for a quick no non-sense, blunt and aggressively bleak as bleach and desert approach, like for when studying for exams, disciniplining your habits or lagged sleep, this might be IT. For me, I had to disable EVERYTHING, javascripts, CSS user styles, the cosmetic extensions and general overhaul like improved tube also borked: this app is as impartial as ruthless and a good in desperate time, this is a wartime extension equivalent
Good but no dark mod support, the background is pure white.
Background colour is too bright, could have given option to choose background colour.
