The difference
How they work
Removing vs filtering
Unhook takes whole parts of YouTube away: no home feed, no sidebar, no comments. That's calm, but it also removes the related video that would have helped. Fovely leaves the page as it is and blurs only what doesn't fit what you're working on right now, so the next useful tutorial is still one click away.
Always on vs sessions
Unhook's settings apply whenever you use YouTube. Fovely works in focus sessions: you set a goal and a time, and outside a session YouTube is untouched.
Simple vs smart
Unhook needs no account and makes no decisions, so nothing leaves your browser. Fovely sends video titles (never full URLs or your history) during a session to decide what fits, which is why it needs a sign-in.
Which one
Pick what fits
Unhook is the better choice if
- You want YouTube without recommendations or comments all the time, not just while you work.
- You'd rather not sign in or have anything checked outside your browser.
- You use Edge.
Fovely is the better choice if
- You learn or work on YouTube and still want the related videos that help.
- You want the rest of YouTube back when your session ends.
- You want the same focus on other websites too (Pro).
