    So my adblocker now also removes youtube comments? That’s more of a feature than a hurdle!

      When adblox inevitably fixes this, you can block comments, and a bunch of other crap, on purpose with Unhooked

        I love unhook so much. Using Youtube without recommended videos is a blessing. I only see what I wanna see, not a single thing the algorithm wants me to watch.

        uBlock Origin (I’m still seeing the comments, though).

          I have that on Firefox but I still have to use Chrome for a few things that seem to glitch out on Firefox. I have AdGuard on Chrome. Right now it seems to be working on Youtube as well. I am still seeing comments.

      I usually find the comments more useful than the video, sometimes more entertaining too.
