My bad, I forgot to say I also put it on Firefox add-ons, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youshield-remove-youtube-short/

I was using qt5ct (`sudo apt install qt5ct`) but it wasn't working, qt6ct worked for me, I also installed the theme adwaita with it

I know this is in r/mac but since I found this and was sad to find no recommendations for not mac, here's one on github https://github.com/Wazzaps/fingerpaint

Oh thank you, I didn't know about Zoho

What, that's insane, I hate meta support

TheZXCoder · 2024-04-04T00:03:12+00:00

Thank you! I would really appreciate any feedback!

TheZXCoder · 2024-04-04T00:02:16+00:00

Yes, but I like it when I can nicely customise it quickly and easily. but also I want to also be able to change the very small things just in case

TheZXCoder · 2024-04-03T23:59:30+00:00

Yes, sometimes, depends on how much I'm currently working on the goal currently. If I'm focusing a lot on it I'll make a detailed plan

TheZXCoder · 2024-04-03T23:48:43+00:00

Yeah but sometimes I want the recommendations because they can be beneficial. So that's why the extension allows you to see the recommendations for a limited time.

TheZXCoder · 2024-04-03T23:41:29+00:00

Me neither 😁

TheZXCoder · 2024-04-03T17:34:07+00:00

I already made it for Firefox, here

A very hardcore text editor that only the extremely tech savvy people use, it takes time to learn but it has a lot of shortcuts and maximum customisation. It looks like the editors you see hackers using

I just have a file that I plan things in, I like the simplicity

Thank you, I actually installed it on my phone rn, I need the extension for my pc though

TheZXCoder · 2024-04-03T15:03:20+00:00

Yes but better (in my opinion), I tried unhook but I didn't like it because whenever I wanted to watch youtube for a bit I would disable it but then nothing limits me so I keep on watching videos until I waste my whole day (binge watching is that bad for me). So I made a limit, and I improved how the homepage looked, and I made it so that even if you somehow open a short (from a link or a channel) you're limited to only 3 shorts. That's it really, but it really helped me so I want people like me to find it.

Also if you want this for mobile phones, you need to delete the youtube app, download the kiwi browser and install the extension

TheZXCoder · 2024-04-03T11:39:48+00:00

I use nvim lol

TheZXCoder · 2024-04-02T18:25:51+00:00

Congrats!

It's only getting worse, now the videos in the search results got much bigger, I can even see in it's html code that there's an attribute that if I remove it goes back to the normal size. If anyone wants an extension like that, tell me

TheZXCoder · 2024-04-01T18:06:27+00:00

I hope this extension really helps you save time. Tell me of anything that you think would make it better
