YouTube Clean: Hide Shorts & Recommendations

Hide Shorts, recommendations and comments. Filter videos by keyword or length, keep original audio and adjust playback speed.

Hide Shorts and recommendations so you can watch the videos you came for. YouTube Clean is a free, open source extension for a less distracting YouTube, with individual controls for your feed, video page and player. Choose what to change: - Hide Shorts shelves and the Shorts menu entry. Direct links remain accessible. - Hide recommendations beside the video, comments, live chat and end screen cards. - Remove watched videos, mixes, playlists and members-only videos from view. - Filter by words in video titles or channel names, and by video duration. These filters do not apply to search results. - Show original titles and select the original audio track instead of auto-dubbing, when available. - Use smaller thumbnails, a compact layout and disable hover previews. - Adjust playback speed from 0.25x to 3x on regular video pages. - Hide sidebar items or open Subscriptions instead of Home when signed in. Click the extension icon to open the side panel. Start with the Balanced preset, then adjust each setting. Use the master switch or keyboard shortcut to turn your setup on or off. Works on the desktop website in Chrome. You can also hide sponsored cards and banners. Optional automatic ad skipping is experimental and does not guarantee ad-free playback. No payment or account required. Settings stay in your browser, with no automatic usage tracking. If you send feedback, your message and extension version go to the developer via PostHog; browsing history and account details are not attached.
