Description

YouTube without the rabbit hole: hide the home feed, Shorts, up next, comments and end screens. Search for what you came for. YouTube without the rabbit hole. Plain YouTube hides the parts of YouTube built to keep you watching, so you can search for what you came for, watch it, and leave. WHAT IT HIDES (each has its own switch) • The home feed. Home shows only the search bar • Shorts. A Short opens as a normal video, with no swiping to the next one • Up next and the suggestions beside a video • End screens and autoplay • Comments • Thumbnails in search, if you want results as a plain list of titles (off by default) • The side menu, if you want subscriptions and trending out of reach (off by default) Changes apply right away on open YouTube tabs. Private: Plain YouTube runs only on youtube.com, collects nothing and sends nothing. Your switches are saved in your browser. Want YouTube to cost something instead? Onus, from the same maker, makes you earn YouTube time by working: https://onus.page
