The developer and therefore extension is unreliable. Alex (the developer) recently sold one of his extensions (Web Activity Time Tracker) to shady actors who ended up getting that extension unlisted from the Chrome webstore due to their modifications. Alex did not provide any warning or indication to us users aside from editing the README file in his repository and his GitHub profile. The vast majority of people don't visit a Chrome extension's GitHub page or the developer's profile, let alone with any regularity to see the warnings that were added. What he did was not an acceptable method to communicate a major ownership change. This is unacceptable, dishonest, and scummy behavior, and I have uninstalled this extension due to it. I would recommend anyone else do the same lest this extension go down the same road.

When I turned on Hide Explore, Trending it is hiding More from YouTube section. Feature suggestion Add Remove Ads.

Good but too easy to disable. Should install a password protection or something.
