About

This extension prevents the automatic refreshing of recommendations when navigating between videos on YouTube. For example, if you click on a video and the top recommended video on the side is about Basketball, then if you click on another video and then go back to the first video, the top recommended video might not be Basketball anymore. This is a niche issue that this extension fixes by stopping YouTube from refreshing those sidebar recommendations, so if something caught your eye you can always backtrack to find it.
