At least for the YouTube filter templates, https://unhook.app https://unhook.app is a great alternative.

I'm looking forward installing this on brave as soon as I get my hands on my pc, my attention span is so low that sometimes when I open up YouTube in incognito, I get overwhelmed. (I often do that to not mess with my actual recommended comment if I know I just need to search a video or two for one offs) The homepage shows a lot of crap and clickbait thumbnails, and especially thumbnails with people having weird expressions and staring at me makes my brain completely lose context and lose focus for a few seconds, so that I have actually to think again about what I was gonna search, and sometimes I can't even remember it

  I wish YouTube had a premium feature called the focus mode where we can just watch our subscriptions with no hassle.

    Although I hope something similar will exist, I do believe the push towards promoting bullshit and shallow content is too strong

      You’re right and that push for shallow content just frustrates me. I wish at least they took my subscription fee and distributed to the channels and videos I watched.

    I use New Pipe for this. Also no ads.

    +1 Also wish YouTube would copy X/Twitter where you get two toggle options: 1) For you (algo recommendations) 2) Directly following You would ideally use directly following on the days where you’re time crunched.

      As a sub-par solution; I completely turned off history on my main account, which also turns off recommendations. I also created a secondary “channel” under my main account that I watch certain topics only. It’s quite a hassle but kind of works.

This is a great one. I've been using it for the past year.
