Best Extension for YouTube Minimalists in 2026
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
YouTube's pages are crowded with Shorts, shopping shelves, live chat, comments and suggestions. Ultimate Adblocker includes a set of YouTube switches, each off until you turn it on: hide Shorts, Home page videos, recommended videos, comments, end-screen suggestions, live chat, and merch, tickets and shopping, plus turn off autoplay and open Subscriptions instead of Home. It also blocks YouTube's ads. Pick only the switches you want and the rest of YouTube stays as it is. It works in Chrome on a computer.
