This is a must have at this point. Thank you for unironically helping my mental health with this.

Not only does it work perfectly, it is also the best extension ever created in the history of humanity; There is nothing more beautiful than scrolling and not having to read anyone.

This extension works well, it stops you from doom scrolling and getting distracted.
Please update this extension, recommended videos still show up with the new YouTube layout.

Opera, please sending me e-mails for every reply to this post. I no longer use Opera, nor is this relevant to me. I got over a dozen e-mails. I tap the unsubscribe link every time, yet I keep getting e-mails. I even reported it as spam. No change. You are bypassing a system, for what? To hint that I used Opera at some point & should again? This type of marketing is petty & I assure you, has the opposite effect.

@UnoDeIQ No, Opera does not give the option to install extensions in mobile version. But you can request it to the Opera team as I have done

@stonephone Tip: Don't reply to a almost one year old post unless you really have a solution or something useful to say

Also, this is Opera's forum/addons page.

it deletes youtube. like the entire thing. good luck trying to look for something to watch when there is no home page anymore. you can search but who even uses search that much?

Unhook might be the most useful app on the internet right now.
It gives back something YT quietly stole:
freedom of choice and autonomous thinking.
No more lemming mode.

It lets you disable whatever YouTube junk around the video.
I keep only the video, channel info, comments, and search bar.
That’s it. The page is clean. Calm. Breathable.
No clickbait. No Shouting faces. No algorithmic nudging.
No “you watched this once so here’s 500 more”.

After my first video with Unhook, I caught myself thinking: And now?
That moment of emptiness says everything. I was trained to scroll, not to choose.
Same echo chambers, same recycled outrage, same time sink.
Ten minutes in, the familiar thought: Why did I even click this?

Now that reflex is gone.
If I want something, I have to decide. Deliberately.
It feels weird at first — like quitting smoking or sugar.
But it feels good.

Freedom always does.
