Watch what you came for. Nothing else.
You open one video and leave forty minutes later. GetFeedMute hides the Shorts shelves, the Reels, the “Recommended for you” walls and the endless home grid — and leaves search, subscriptions and the video you actually opened exactly where they were.
By clicking “Add to Chrome”, you agree to install the GetFeedMute extension as described in our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. Installing it does not change any of your existing browser settings.
How it works
Recommendation feeds are not navigation. They are a slot machine bolted onto the page you wanted, designed so that leaving feels like effort. GetFeedMute removes the machine and leaves the page.
It hides the infinite parts
Shorts and Reels shelves, the recommendation grid on the home page, the sidebar of “up next” suggestions, the comment-free scroll walls — gone before the page finishes loading.
It keeps the parts you use
Search, subscriptions, playlists, history, channel pages and the player itself all work exactly as before. You decide what to watch; the site stops deciding for you.
Nothing leaves your browser
All of it runs locally on your machine. No account, no cloud, no record of what you watched — because there is no server on the other end at all.
Why people use it
The problem was never the video you searched for. It was the next forty.
You leave when you meant to
Watch the tutorial, close the tab. With nothing queued below the player, there is no accidental hour.
A home page that doesn't ambush you
Open the site to search for something specific and get a search box instead of a wall of thumbnails engineered to stop you.
Lighter, faster pages
Dozens of thumbnails and preview clips never load. Noticeable on an older laptop, and on a phone plan where every megabyte counts.
Privacy by design, not by promise
The extension has no analytics and no remote calls. What you watch stays on your device because it never had anywhere else to go.
Get started in seconds
There is nothing to configure and no account to create.
Add it to Chrome
Open the Chrome Web Store listing and click “Add to Chrome”. The install takes one click.
Open a video site
No setup screen, no onboarding. The feeds are already gone on the next page you load.
Tune it if you want
Each section — Shorts, home grid, sidebar, comments — has its own switch, per site. Turn the whole thing off for a site with one click.
Questions, answered
Which sites does it work on?
The big video and social sites where endless feeds live, including YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok's web version, X and Reddit. Each site has its own set of switches, so you can hide Shorts on one and leave everything alone on another.
Can I still find and watch videos?
Yes. Search, subscriptions, playlists, history and channel pages are untouched, and every video plays normally. GetFeedMute only removes the surfaces that exist to suggest the next thing.
Is it an ad blocker?
No. It does not touch advertising, and it is not a substitute for an ad blocker. It hides recommendation feeds — that is the whole job.
What if I want the recommendations back for a while?
Click the toolbar icon and switch the site off. Everything reappears on the next reload, and you can switch it back on whenever you like.
Does GetFeedMute collect any data about me?
No. It has no accounts, no analytics and no server. Which pages you open and what you watch never leaves your browser.
