- Rated 1 out of 5by Echo of Abyss, a day agoIt's ok at the very best, actively worse in cases.
I wanted to look up the video 'I will be' from the creator ozumiiwizard...
I searched for 'ozu I will be', and it showed me some stupid mix first and didn't give me the video by itself.
Ok, maybe YT is dumb, so I'll disable it from showing playlists in search.
It now no longer shows me ANYTHING related to the song.
I tried it in a private window, just to see if it's the extension or not... IT IS THE EXTENSION that actively filtered out the video I was searching for.
It's possible that it did it several times in the past while I was searching for a video I remembered and wanted to rewatch, but I can't know in all honesty.
If you install this, search for videos to try it out if it actually makes search better for you or not. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19775940, a month agoAbsolute poo. Its supposed to hide Shorts when searching. THE ONLY THING THAT SHOWS UP IN SEARCH ARE SHORTS, not one single regular video. And don't tell me it's a conflicting plugin, I went so far as to delete every other one I had, and reset the system, to try and troubleshoot the issue.

posted a month agoUsing the same production version as everyone on my system and it works fine for me. Maybe try changing the setting toggles. - Rated 1 out of 5by P. H., a month ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18371926, 6 months agoI really have been wanting to get rid of the obtrusive and offensive horizontal list of shorts that come up every time I open youtube. This extension is supposed to help with that, but unfortunately I cannot tell whether it does anything at all, as the shorts are still there. I did check it at the filter settings of the extension and also clicked F5 to reset youtube. I would like to know how to get it to work.

posted 3 months agoI apologize for the confusion, but this extension is design to work on the search results page, as mentioned in the name and in the feature list. If you click on the card list toggle, the horizontal list of shorts and cards get removed from the search results feed. Thanks. - Rated 1 out of 5by Utlamo, 7 months agoInstall addon

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18368715, 2 years agoYeah this extension doesn't actually work? It hides the category titles but the random unrelated and 'previously viewed' videos are still there just mixed in with the rest of the videos.
- Rated 1 out of 5by jd, 2 years agoI downloaded this extension to fix search, but it also makes all of these annoying, unnecessary UI changes that cannot be turned off. I am giving this extension a 1 star because other reviews have complained about this for at least a year and the problem still persists.
- Rated 1 out of 5by MEMORY, 2 years agofor some reason whenever i have this add on enabled it tanks youtube's loading. it gets REALLY slow. not worth the search fixing.
