If you disable watch history in Youtube it conveniently disables all front page suggestions and you can also disable autoplay: https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/8/23824672/youtube-blank-hom...

Unhooked is an extension that lets you disable many other features on YouTube.

I'm sure that the majority of people watch YouTube on a phone where that extension doesn't work, so it's not that useful.

My pattern of YouTube watching:

1. On my laptop, 99% searching for specific videos like tutorials/reviews of something. Almost never looking for entertainment.

2. On my phone, 80% looking for entertainment + a few reviews

I quite like being able to dig through my watch history
