UnTrap for YouTube — Block YouTube Shorts & Remove Recommendations
Make YouTube more focused and distraction-free. UnTrap turns YouTube into a clean, focused, and intentional space. It removes distractions like Shorts, visual noise, and attention-grabbing UI elements, so you can watch content without endless scrolling or interruptions. UnTrap offers 250+ powerful features that let you fully customize how YouTube looks and behaves — from layout and content filters to automation, focus tools, and AI-powered summaries. Short videos are one of the biggest attention traps. UnTrap lets you remove Shorts entirely or treat them as regular videos, so you stay in control without breaking your workflow. You can disable Shorts, open them in the standard player, or keep them hidden for a cleaner interface. Decide what stays and what goes. Remove related videos, comments, suggestions, live chat, notifications, buttons, sidebars, and trending sections when they pull attention away. Reduce visual noise by hiding thumbnails, overlays, promotions, and ad banners, or even the Home feed entirely. Get instant AI video summaries with key insights, timestamps, and enhanced transcripts. Jump directly to important moments, expand transcripts or descriptions, and save summaries for later — with multilingual support across content types. A calm interface and mindful controls help reduce overstimulation and support healthier viewing habits. Whether you’re building productivity habits or simply trying to stay focused, UnTrap adapts to your workflow. Enjoy a distraction-free player with full-window viewing, resizable layout, and precise playback controls. Personalize YouTube with themes, cinema mode, or full-size theater mode. Restore the old YouTube layout, use legacy list views, or switch to a minimal interface. Small tweaks like disabling ambient lighting or improving in-page search refine everyday use. Filter content, block unwanted videos or channels, mute topics, and apply keyword-based rules to shape your feed. UnTrap supports advanced content filtering and parental control tools to help build a safer, distraction-free environment. Save time with smart automation. Disable autoplay, auto-skip video promotions, add intentional opening delays, set default playback speed, enable fullscreen automatically, redirect the Home page, and control YouTube with custom keyboard shortcuts. YouTube adapts to you — not the other way around. UnTrap works across desktop, mobile, and embedded YouTube players, making it a reliable YouTube enhancement wherever you watch.

YouTube Liberation: Anti-Distraction Skin
Chrome extension to liberate you from the infinite distraction cycle of YouTube. Like other social media platforms, YouTube is very good at showing you content that you want to watch but weren't planning to or looking for, making it super easy to get distracted and get sucked into one video after another and suddenly lose an hour of your day. Yet there are so many valuable resources and videos that you can't find elsewhere: tutorials, event coverage, specific creators you subscribe to who you know always publish high-quality content worth watching. For many of us, the value of YouTube makes it worth the sacrifice of even its most distracting possibilities, and it's impossible to just cut away. What if it didn't have to be this way? What if you could have the good of YouTube, see the content you want to see, without the platform constantly trying to drag your attention through an endless stream of productivity-draining drudgery? This is the philosophy behind YouTube Liberation. It's time to rise up, lose your chains, and join us as we march our way towards a better YouTube! YouTube Liberation works by hiding elements that lead you towards new content you don't intend to see, without compromising any core viewing features. These elements include: - The entire home page of alg-generated recommendations - Video recommendations on watch pages - Comments sections on watch pages - Extraneous UI elements, replacing the full sidebar with a much more minimal one and removing most topbar buttons YouTube liberation does not at all compromise: - Subscriptions and trending pages - Channel pages - Playlists - Video stats, description, etc. What are considered vital core features and what are considered distracting elements varies from use case to use case and person to person. For certain kinds of videos, comments might be more constructive than distracting. For creators, notifications and easy access to uploading might be important (though that's why YouTube Studio exists...). Thus, one feature I'm working on adding right now is the ability to customize what gets hidden and what is shown, with a recommended configuration as it is right now.
