About Not Recommended

Not Recommended replaces YouTube’s homepage feed with a simple search box, three random Wikipedia articles, and your saved searches and videos. It also hides Shorts, comments, and recommendation sidebars by default. Everything is optional and configurable. No accounts, analytics, ads, AI, or personalized recommendations. Your settings and saved items stay in your browser.
