RYS — Remove YouTube Suggestions
A Browser Extension

Why I made it
Motivated by an attempt to stymie the YouTube rabbit hole.
The YouTube recommendation algorithm optimizes for the most engaging videos, regardless of whether or not you are interested. Persistent exposure to these suggestions can result in a waste of your time. Download this add-on and remove unwanted suggestions as you please.
