# uBlock-YouTube-Enhancer
This is for people who want to remove junk from youtube on their desktops. Install the [**uBlock Origin extension**](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock) for your browser, copy the text below for the specific filter and paste it into uBlock's '**My filters**' section.
## Remove Junk (General Filter)
Here is a list of non-cosmetic filters to remove junk from Youtube without the need of cosmetic filtering.
NOTE: because of the way Youtube loads videos, these filters (except for the shorts button filter) will not work if you enter in the direct URL of a video or click on a video link.

## Remove Junk from Search Results
When you search for something on youtube, it returns some results first, then a separate section like "[People also watched](https://i.imgur.com/xRiX6Vx.jpg)", "[For you](https://i.imgur.com/Ie7tdCm.jpg)" and "People also search for". This filter aims to remove them from your youtube search results and make them a lot cleaner.
