works only sometimes
When I first installed it, it worked perfectly. A few hours later, it didn't work anymore. I don't really know how to feel about that.
Did block comments, but displayed a bunch of ads, including above my playlists (forcing them down the screen) and on top of the videos! Ads are worse than comments! Shameful that this would be the solution without any mention of ads. I have ad blockers installed for a reason.
does not seem to work, does not detect youtube website being open - does not activate in this case
Works great, straightforward, I can remove just the recommended videos.
Does exactly what it says, and is the only way I've found outside scripting in adblockers to hide the generally god-awful Chat full of explicit porn ad bots without having to click every time on every live music stream. May 2022
Doesn't really work well. It worked immediately after installation, but then a couple hours later it didn't work again. A week or so later and several restarts later, it had no effect whatsoever on my YouTube videos, they appeared as normal. I uninstalled it, went to leave a review and it said I had to install the extension to leave a review. Well after re-installing it, it works again. But last time it only worked for a very short time, so I don't have much faith on this being reliable.
Perefect. Keep it up.I use this to hide chats.
It's nice, but................... Can you make the Live Chat and the chat after the stream is over, to just Collapse, instead of fully hiding it? Meaning, leave the buttons as they are, so we can get back the chat if we need to. Please! Because if we need the chat, we have to disable the option and reload the page.?♂️?♂️ You can do a similar thing for comments as well. But in their case, you can make a button on the page, to hide/unhide them.
Great extension but as others have said, requires a page refresh for the chat block to work. version 1.4.1
Only works when it's not in full screen autoplay mode. Doesn't actually hide the chat box itself, but it does stop the chat in general, so I can't complain about that, but it's a heads up for anyone else who does install it. Decent extension. I'd recommend for those who doesn't fall asleep with YT full screened.
Does what it says, makes YouTube so much cleaner and easier to use with fewer distractions. Thank you!
Works great!
Thanks! That's a really sweet app and does what exactly what I was looking for :) Also, contrary to the more popular extension "Hide youtube comments" you can toggle comments when you need with this one.
Live chat bugs me. It's distracting, and once you start reading to always end up headdesking. Name seemed solid, pictures in store suggest you can select parts to disable. NOPE. Just nukes all the listed parts. Far WORSE : it re-enables advertising. And on that point : since when are there TWO ads?! x^6
Auto hiding chat is awesome Thanks a lot for creating that extension. Works perfectly at the moment ?
Works well!
Requires a page refresh before chat is actually hidden, otherwise would be great. Plugin version 1.4.1 Chrome Version 91.0.4472.77 (Official Build) (64-bit)
The extension was working perfectly, but for whatever reason, it no longer works nearly as well. The comments, that were previously blocked, now show up, and I need to refresh the page to get them to disappear, which is annoying. There appears to have been an update recently, and I wonder if that's why it no longer works.
Works! Helps with distractions.
works great just used it
Watch out! This extension has a bug... it accidentally hides the "Manage Membership" button on the Paid Memberships page (https://www.youtube.com/paid_memberships), so it's not possible to change your Youtube Premium billing details.
Works exactly as expected
Works well! Definitely helps with distractions.
Работает!! Спасибо!! Чат на ютубе автоматически пропадает!!
This works. Goodbye toxic Youtube chat/comments!
It broken the filters/like & dislike buttons (they no longer exist with this extension).
Broke my YouTube entirely
Hiding Likes/Dislikes is hiding the "filter" button in the search result menu.. hope you fix it soon.. great extension nonetheless!
wow better than expected i'm a lofi listener, the chat always trigger me. also, the related videos also helps me to watch more Youtube videos
Works as expected. Thank you
working
Works amazing!!!
Works great. I only use it for hiding the live chat box. But it works for all three if required. Great little extension! Well done to the dev
Hey, the extension is great, but the Recommended is not longer being blocked, thus 1 star rating to get your attention.
Works!
I needed to eliminate distractions while watching videos and this extension helps with that. I installed it and went straight into youtube, I noticed that it didn't work so I closed out the youtube page and then opened the site again. I clicked on a random video and it worked perfectly right away.
As of May 6th, 2019, this app allows me to toggle YouTube comments, live chat, and recommended videos as advertised. Additionally, I really like the fact that this app is controlled from the browser window and not the site itself---since YouTube changes more than Chrome, it's nice not to have to re-familiarize myself every time YouTube makes an update. Thanks John!
only downloaded it for hiding related videos at the end , didnt do it
Hiding the "Related Videos" seems to hide the playlists as well.
Thanks for creating this plugin. I couldn't bear anymore that poorly-coded feature that slowdown low-spec machines.
Live chat tanks performance for whatever reason. Now I don't have to wait for it to load before I can close it.
I needed a extension to hide youtube chat. This extension does exactly that, and I can confirm this extension is working as of November 2018. Thanks!
The only thing I care about hiding is the live chat and that doesn't work...
Doesn't work
doesn't work anymore.
