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

It needs a 'disable/enable extension' button. Sometimes all we need is some distraction.
I love this extention!
an essential for me
Beautiful, perfect. You don't miss any of the tools you need for common youtube usage, but it cleans all of the trash that youtube puts on your screen to make you a clicker. The extension creates a totally new experience from using youtube that just feels like the way youtube always should have been.
So good! one of my favorite chrome plug-ins. Goodbye youtube black holes
It felt like a prison the first day, but boy this is helpful!
This is an amazing application. Has really helped me avoid watching endless cycle of videos.
The best one so far.
This is really helpful, one thing that's kind of annoying is that you can't open the transcript for a video which I usually use to take notes, but other than that it completely cuts down YouTube time.
Almost perfect. Can u please fix sidebar appearance (now it cant be hidden, and overlaps the view)?
