About Less Mixes for YouTube

This extension stops YouTube from automatically turning music videos into Mix playlists. Instead of forcing every video, single, or OST into an auto-generated playlist, it lets you watch only the video you clicked — no mixes with random songs added. You don’t need to worry about autoplay anymore; this extension works whether autoplay is on or off. Configurable options: • Keep Music Videos as Videos – Prevents YouTube from turning music videos into Mix playlists. • Turn Mixes into Single Videos – Plays only the displayed video instead of starting the Mix playlist. • Turn My Mix into Single Video – Plays only the selected video instead of starting "My Mix". How it works: • Clears unnecessary URL parameters like "&list=" and "&start_radio=1" • Redirects you to the clean URL so only the selected video plays Compatible browsers: All Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, etc., and Firefox on Windows, macOS, and Linux. NEW: The extension is now available for Firefox on Android Support and Feedback: For questions, detailed instructions, or to report issues, visit the GitHub page for this extension: https://github.com/Joooohannes/Less-Mixes-for-YouTube You can also use the Chrome Web Store support page to submit feedback or get help. Your input helps improve the extension. Common Problems: • For the extension to work, you need to open YouTube in a new tab after installing it.
