Prevents profile clicks in comment columns and clears URL parameters
No Click Profile & ClearURLs is a “2-in-1” Userscript designed to improve your focus and comfort while watching YouTube. This script addresses two major issues that users often encounter: accidentally clicking on profiles in the comments section and *video URLs that are “cluttered” with tracking/playlist parameters. *
Have you ever been engrossed in reading comments or wanted to click on a timestamp, but your finger slipped slightly and you ended up clicking on someone else's profile photo? As a result, the video stopped and you were thrown to their profile page. Very annoying, isn't it?
This script prevents that with a smart mechanism:
This script automatically removes the following parameters when the page loads:
si (Session/Tracking ID from the Share feature).pp (Internal playback parameter).list & index (Prevents videos from being forced into Playlist mode if you only want to watch that one video).Result:
- Before:
youtube.com/watch?v=AbCdEfGh&list=PLxz...&index=3&si=xyz123- After:
youtube.com/watch?v=AbCdEfGh
Shift key when clicking on the profile.This script works well on modern browsers that support Userscript Manager (Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey, etc.):
If you know a little coding, you can edit the top part of the script (CONFIG) to:
Make your YouTube experience cleaner and distraction-free!
