| Unhook[1] has been my go-to for this. Gives full customization over shorts, recommendations, comments, etc. 1a: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-recom... 1b: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/unhook-remove-youtu... |

| Sadly, it hasn't been updated since 2024 and is slowly breaking. Haven't found a good replacement yet. |

| ▲ | insin an hour ago | parent [-] | | I keep Control Panel for YouTube [1] up to date with the latest YouTube shenanigans. Most recently: restoring the Related sidebar layout with the giant thumbs, if you're not hiding them. Shorts are hidden and redirected if you land on one externally by default, and it _was_ also restoring the sort by Upload date filter UI, until YouTube went and killed that in the API ;_; [1] https://soitis.dev/control-panel-for-youtube | | |

| Does it still work for you? Unhook hasn't been updated in years and doesn't work for shorts anymore, on Firefox. It's still worth it to get rid of the suggested videos though. |

| ▲ | zanehelton 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | It still works for me in Brave. While we're on the topic of "Unhooking" I also like to recommend the DeArrow[1] extension for YouTube. 1: https://dearrow.ajay.app/ | |

For the purposes it fills, that blocks them enough for me. |

| Some of the Unhook options are broken nowadays I think. Its that or one of my other 10 YouTube extensions I now have to deshittify that damn page. Disable translate, SponsorBlock, Disable AutoPlay, some better thumbnail thing.. |
