About HushTube

HushTube hides the YouTube homepage feed, so you go to YouTube to watch a specific thing rather than to get pulled into an endless feed. WHAT IT DOES • The homepage feed is always hidden and replaced with a quiet placeholder. • An optional toggle hides the suggested-videos sidebar on watch pages, and the player reclaims the freed space. • Search, watch, channel, and subscription pages are untouched and work normally. • Your preference syncs across your signed-in Chrome. • Changes apply instantly to open YouTube tabs, including in-app navigation. PRIVACY HushTube collects no data. No analytics, no tracking, no network requests, no ads. The only thing it stores is a single on/off preference for the sidebar toggle, saved with Chrome's storage.sync API. PERMISSIONS • storage: saves your one toggle preference. • Access to youtube.com: required to apply the styles that hide the feed and the sidebar suggestions. HushTube is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google LLC.
