I just love this extension. It gives me the choice to hide the homepage, video recommendations, comments, and so on. It can even hide the notifications bell icon on top.

I wanted to hide comments, and now, after using it for a few days, I can say it absolutely works. I highly recommend this extension for those who want to avoid comments and other distractions. The homepage is a huge distraction. I have set it to redirect to the subscriptions tab, so whenever I open YouTube.com, it redirects to the subscriptions tab, which is all I need and If I want to watch something specific, I can search for it. This extension gives you all the control to choose. I highly recommend this extension.
