Block Shorts, hide recommendations, comments and feeds. Open YouTube, watch what you came for — and get back to your day.
YouTube is built to keep you scrolling. Clean YouTube strips out everything that isn't the video you chose.
Features
One switch, and the page is just the video player. No sidebar, no feed, no comments.
The infinite vertical scroll disappears from the feed, search and sidebar.
No “up next” rabbit hole beside the player, no suggestions at the end.
Watch without the arguments underneath. Live chat can go too.
Choose by title, not by the loudest face in the grid.
Drain the color from YouTube and it quietly loses its pull.
How it works
Click the icon in your toolbar and flip what you don't want to see. Your YouTube, set up exactly the way you want it.
Try it — the switches work.
Clean YouTube doesn't collect anything about you and doesn't send data anywhere. It just hides elements on the page.
Yes. Every element has its own switch — 18 in total. Turn on only the ones you need: hide Shorts but keep comments, blur thumbnails but keep the home feed. Your choices are saved and applied every time you open YouTube.
No. Clean YouTube has no analytics, no accounts and no servers to send anything to. It only asks for permission to store your settings and to run on youtube.com, where it hides elements on the page.
English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese and Chinese (Simplified). The extension follows the language of your browser.
Of course. Write to castlewania.alex@gmail.com or use the support tab on the Chrome Web Store page — most of the current switches started as user requests.
Join 50,000+ people who open YouTube on purpose — and close it on time.
