Install

Add Quiet to Chrome. No account needed for the free tier.

Open YouTube

YouTube loads quietly. Shorts gone. Feed gone. Just search and videos.

03

Control it

Click the toolbar icon to toggle any element on or off individually.

Pro

Trust a channel? Pause Quiet there in one click.

A small "+ Quiet" button sits right next to the channel name on every video. Click it once and that channel is allowlisted, no popup, no typing a name in by hand. Part of Pro's channel allowlist.

Questions.

Does Quiet work on YouTube Music?

No. Quiet only targets youtube.com. YouTube Music is a separate domain and is completely unaffected.

Will YouTube updates break it?

Occasionally. We use semantic selectors that survive most UI updates. Any breakage is patched within 48 hours and pushed without a browser update.

Can I try Pro before paying?

Yes. Every Pro plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Add a card to start it, and you won’t be charged until the trial ends. Cancel anytime before then and you pay nothing.

Does it slow YouTube down?

No. Quiet injects a single CSS block before the page renders. Zero measurable impact on load time.

What happens if I cancel Pro?

The basic hiding rules keep working forever for free. You lose sync, scheduling, profiles, and stats.
