2:00 PM
You opened YouTube for one video.
Then a Short. A recommendation. Autoplay did the rest.
11:47 PM
Just the Video keeps YouTube to the one video you came for.
Watch just the video.
Hide Shorts, recommendations, comments and autoplay on YouTube. Keep only what you came for.
A YouTube-like watch page with Shorts, recommendations, an end screen, an autoplay card, a channel watermark and comments, and the Just the Video settings window. Each switch hides one of those parts.
