Extension to Disable Annotations and Cards
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
Old-style annotations no longer exist: YouTube removed them in 2019. What's left are info cards, the small teasers in the top corner, and end screens, the tiles that cover a video's last seconds. You can turn off info cards in YouTube itself: click your profile picture, then Settings, then Playback and performance, and untick Info cards. For end screens, turn on "Hide end-screen suggestions" in Ultimate Adblocker's YouTube settings. It works in Chrome on a computer.
