A cleaner YouTube in one click
Same account, same videos, far less noise. LessTube is a free YouTube customizer that hides the parts of the interface that pull you into endless scrolling: Shorts shelves, topic chips, suggested next videos and other clutter.
Turn the extension on, flip a few switches, and YouTube feels calmer right away, whether you are studying, working or just watching one video on purpose.
Features that cut the noise
Over 140 options live in one simple popup. These are the controls people reach for first when YouTube feels overwhelming, so you can hide distractions and reshape the page without digging through menus.
