About Unplug
Unplug isn't a site blocker. You're not trying to quit YouTube, Reddit, or X — you just don't need the algorithm feeding you recommended videos, Shorts, trending topics, and engagement bait every time you open a page.
Toggle off the parts you don't want. Keep the parts you actually use.
YOUTUBE
• Hide the homepage feed, Shorts, and "Up next" sidebar recommendations
• Open a Shorts link and land on the normal video player instead of the vertical feed
• Turn off autoplay, end cards, and the end-of-video wall
• A clickbait filter that scores video titles and dims the worst offenders
• Grayscale thumbnails to cut the visual pull
REDDIT
• Hide the home feed, promoted posts, trending carousels, and login walls
• Remove per-comment vote, reply and share buttons
• Collapse nested replies so threads read as top-level comments only
X / TWITTER
• Stay on the Following feed instead of the algorithmic For You timeline
• Hide trending, Who to Follow, and Premium upsells
• Hide engagement counts, replies, and the entire left nav
ANYTHING ELSE
Click "Point at something to hide it," then click anything on the page. It stays hidden on every future visit — for whatever the built-in toggles don't cover.
