Description

This is an open-source extension that changes homepage of Youtube (only search bar) and drops recommendations/comments from other pages. Extension requires access to Youtube website to change its outlook. Extension icon opens a popup with an option to show/hide the comments section of a video (to check timestamps in comments, for example). In the latest version, an option to temporarily disable the extension was added. You can hover over the YouTube logo to access the navigation menu – playlists, liked videos, watch history, etc. Enjoy <3 Important: the extension doesn't collect any data about Youtube usage.

My youtube settings are completely broken even after disabling the extension. My sidebar doesn't respond to my clicks and recommendations during videos are completely gone. Even if this extension magically works afterwards it isn't worth it. Actually, scratch that this is just a terrible extension. I just found out before posting that everything came back after I removed the extension's ability to alter webpages. This is almost definitely a PUP extension in my opinion considering the fact that disabling the extension doesn't seem to fully disable it after being used, atleast in my case. Also the dev seems to ignore everything on Github despite telling other low reviewers to submit bug reports.

I cannot find a toggle button so everytime I want to turn it on or off i need to go to manage extensions which is a little but annoying. The rest is really good though

I would like there to be a feature to turn it off easily without uninstalling it each time. the option to turn back on comments still doesnt deactivate it.

I love it giving 3 star so the dev. can read my review. please add support for playlists. when i click on a playlist only one video plays, i want it in playlist format.
