Agreed. The Unhook Youtube chrome extension is great. Another extension I use in combination with it is Improve Youtube.
Together they’ve saved me hundreds of hours.
on extensions: note you can use ublock origin[1] to stop sites from loading by setting a filter against their main content. this is preferable to minimize the amount of extensions which can read site data[2], at least if you already use ublock.

i remember finding an extension which claimed to block some individual site, but tried to request read access on all sites
