Review Summary

Rabbit Hole for YouTube™ is appreciated for effectively blocking distracting recommended videos, enhancing productivity and focus, particularly for students. Users enjoy its simplicity and motivational elements. However, it struggles with recent YouTube updates, causing it to malfunction in certain areas like comments and subscriptions. The extension lacks customization, incognito support, and features like Shorts blocking or dark mode, leading to some user dissatisfaction. Despite occasional bugs, it remains popular for its core functionality of preventing users from falling into the YouTube 'rabbit hole.'

  • Generally well-liked for its intended purpose of reducing YouTube distractions and improving focus.

Cons

  • Currently does not work well with new YouTube formats, especially comments and some newer sections like subscriptions and home page.
  • Lacks customization options for filtering specific content, which some users find limiting.
  • Does not support incognito mode, which some users request.
  • Occasional bugs with toggling settings not reflecting changes on the page.
