About YouTube Control — Dock Comments to Sidebar, Split Player & Theater Max
Block YouTube Shorts, dock comments to sidebar, sticky player, Comment Screenshot, Theater Max, and customize YouTube.
YouTube Control gives you 15+ tools to block distractions and customize every part of YouTube — from the home feed to the video player.
✦ BLOCK SHORTS & CLEAN YOUR FEED • Block YouTube Shorts — remove Shorts feeds, Shorts shelves, and Shorts tabs completely • Hide Home Feed — turn off video recommendations on the YouTube homepage • Hide Category Bar — remove filter chips (Trending, Music, Gaming, etc.) • Hide Mix Playlists — remove auto-generated Mixes and Radio playlists from feeds and watch page • Custom Grid Rows — choose 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 thumbnails per row
✦ CUSTOMIZE YOUR WATCH EXPERIENCE • Dock Comments to Sidebar — read comments right next to the video, no scrolling • Sticky Video Player — keep the video pinned while you scroll through comments • Speed Switcher — 1-click switcher between 3 custom playback speeds (saved across videos) • Refresh Comments — reload new comments with 1 click without refreshing the page • Comment Screenshot — capture full comment threads and copy to clipboard as images • Hide Related Videos — remove suggested video sidebar • Hide Comments & Live Chat — turn off comments and live chat entirely
✦ VISUAL TOOLS & POWER FEATURES • Blur Thumbnails — soften thumbnails until hover to avoid clickbait • Block Ambient Mode — disable glowing background effects (saves GPU power) • Hide Scrollbars — remove visual scrollbars while keeping smooth mouse scrolling • Video Screenshot — capture full-resolution video frames with one click • Theater Max (Mini Fullscreen) — borderless window mode without hiding your browser tabs
✦ WHY YOUTUBE CONTROL? Unlike single-purpose Shorts blockers, YouTube Control lets you customize exactly which distractions to remove. Toggle each feature on or off — no all-or-nothing.
✦ PRIVACY FIRST YouTube Control runs 100% locally. Zero tracking. Zero data collection. Zero network requests. Your browsing stays private.
✦ OPEN SOURCE Fully open source and community-driven. Inspect the code, report bugs, or contribute: https://github.com/vishwa-vsr/YouTube-Control

Data source
Covers every Chrome Web Store extension with at least 100 users, found through the store's public sitemap. User counts are read from public listing pages. The 10% most-used extensions are refreshed daily, the next 40% weekly and the next 40% monthly; the least-used 10% are not refreshed. Google displays rounded user counts (and caps the display at 10,000,000+), so small changes may not be visible. Rating counts above 1,000 are rounded (e.g. 1.6K).
