About

QuietTube removes distractions from YouTube so you can focus on the videos that matter.

  Whether you're studying, working, or just trying to watch a single video without getting pulled into an endless recommendation loop —
  QuietTube gives you control.

  FEATURES:

  • Hide Sidebar Suggestions — Removes "Up next" videos on watch pages and expands the player to full width
  • Hide End-Screen Overlays — No more clickable video tiles at the end of videos
  • Block Shorts — Removes Shorts from navigation, shelves, and search results. Redirects /shorts/ URLs to the normal video player
  • Hide Comments — Removes the entire comments section
  • Hide Trending / Explore — Hides Trending and Explore pages and their sidebar links                                                          
  • Disable Autoplay — Forces autoplay off and hides the toggle                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                                
  Every feature can be toggled individually through a clean, dark popup UI. There's also a global on/off switch to enable or disable everything 
  at once.
