How to set up YT Rec Block

Install the app

Good to know
A few quick answers.
Does it work inside the YouTube, LinkedIn, or Facebook app?
No. This is a Safari extension for the websites on iPhone and iPad. It does not change the native social apps or other browsers.
Can I still search and watch YouTube videos?
Yes. YouTube search, subscriptions, channels, playlists, and direct video links remain available. The extension hides selected recommendation areas rather than blocking YouTube entirely.
Why does Safari ask for website access?
The extension needs permission to hide feed elements on a supported website. You can allow each site separately and change permissions later in Safari's extension settings.
Do I need to allow all three websites?
Only allow the sites you want to use. Enabling the extension on YouTube does not automatically grant access to LinkedIn or Facebook.
Does the extension send my browsing history to you?
No. Feed filtering runs locally in Safari. Browsing activity and focus counters are not sent to the developer. If you choose to send feedback, your rating, optional note, and app details are submitted. Read the privacy policy for details.
What if a feed is still showing?
Check that the extension is enabled and allowed on the current site, then refresh Safari. Websites change, so if something still gets through, contact support with the site, your iOS version, and a screenshot without personal information.
Make room for what you came for.
YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn. A little less distracting.
