QuietDOM YT Guard is the YouTube-focused extension. It injects a Speed button into the YouTube action row, cleans up ads and overlays, restores useful controls, and pairs everything with DNS-backed blocking and product-level stats. TotalShield covers the broader, full-suite blocking side of the lineup.
QuietDOM YT Guard focuses on the parts of YouTube that people touch every day: the player bar, the controls under the video, and the clutter around it.
Adds a Speed action directly into the YouTube button row, so changing playback pace feels like a native control instead of a hidden menu.
Auto-skip and mute ads, handle mid-roll interruptions, and strip out overlays and banners that get in the way of the video itself.
Toggle Shorts, comments, and other noisy surface elements off when you want a quieter, more focused YouTube session.
Pair the YouTube controls with DNS rules and live stats so you can see total blocked requests, domains, and YouTube-specific counts.
Replace this block with your QuietDOM Video settings screenshot: ad removal toggles, Shorts and comments controls, and the force-speed slider.
Replace this block with your DNS + Stats view showing blocking mode, active rules, and YouTube vs. total blocked counts.
The injected Speed action is the most visible part of QuietDOM YT Guard. Under the hood it is just DOM work, but on the page it changes how YouTube feels to use.
This is the clearest proof that QuietDOM YT Guard Video improves YouTube directly instead of only hiding things in the background.
Both products share the same umbrella brand, but they are honest about what they do. One is YouTube-first, and the other is a heavier full-suite blocker.

QuietDOM is independently maintained, and support helps keep both products updated as websites, browser policies, and blocking methods keep changing.
QuietDOM YT Guard and TotalShield both require ongoing work. Support helps fund breakage fixes, product updates, and the time needed to keep the project reliable long term.

One-time support and recurring support both make a difference.

This section answers the questions people are most likely to have when they land on the QuietDOM Video page for the first time.

Yes. DNS-backed blocking and stats are an extra layer. The YouTube controls are designed to stand on their own.
