Clean Feed – Hide Shorts & Reels by Freaks

Clean Feed removes the endless-scroll parts of YouTube and Instagram and keeps what you actually go there for.

YouTube
• Hides Shorts: shelves, thumbnails, channel tab and menu entry
• Opens Shorts links in the regular video player

Instagram (each part has its own toggle)
• Home: feed, "You're all caught up" and suggestions are hidden, stories stay (centered on desktop)
• Explore: reduced to the search bar, no loading spinner
• Reels: Reels button hidden, Reels tab redirected to home

What is never touched
• Profiles, posts, hashtags and places
• Reels and posts sent to you in messages: they open normally

Simple and private
• One toolbar menu, everything on by default, changes apply instantly
• No account, no tracking, no data collected, no network requests
• Only works on instagram.com and youtube.com
• Open source (MIT)
