"Stop recommending YouTube" is a Chrome extension designed to curb bad habits like endless scrolling and falling down the YouTube rabbit hole. It allows for regular use of YouTube while preventing the platform from suggesting videos to watch next. This open-source project ensures no data is collected, prioritizing user privacy and control over their viewing experience.

The extension stops the display of Shorts on your Home and Subscription pages, streamlines the left navigation panel, and eliminates the right panel showing recommended videos while watching a video on YouTube. It also restricts the ability to navigate to another Short when currently watching one, promoting a more focused viewing experience.
