Remove Youtube Suggestions

A Firefox Extension

What does it do?

The aim of this project is to hide recommendations wherever they may appear. Motivated by an attempt to stymie the "YouTube rabbit hole."

Why should I use this plugin?

Google optimizes recommendations to be the most engaging videos. Their ideal recommendation sets in motion the brain's automatic response to click — regardless if you are interested or not. Persistent exposure to these suggestions results in a waste of your time. So download this add-on and remove them as you please!

Available for install here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remove-youtube-s-suggestions/
