This is great! My kids watch YouTube, much to my dismay, and this will be helpful. Thanks for sharing.

You’re welcome! These are some best settings, so that I never have to see the YouTube facial expression ever again when you go to the home page.
Incredible how much better your mind feels 😂 
This is only on the browser version?
Yes on mobile I only run via the browser never the app.
I run three layers of extensions:
1: an ad blocker that actually works
2: vinegar, which replaces YouTube video player with a HTML video player
3: untrap extension that lets you configure What is displayed.
This lets me play videos in the background or phone screen off,
Can use picture in picture, never get advertisements and total customization of display. Probably less tracking too.
