Great extension, helped me a lot. I hid shorts, suggested videos and disabled infinite scrolling on the home page. And now I more or less only watch things I really want to.

Great up, Unfortunately though when this add-on enabled, i cannot see the control panel for my other ("Video Speed Controller by codebicycle") add-on..... I wish you can fix this!, thank you for your work!
