Description

Show HN: NoSuggest – Watch YouTube without the recommendation algorithm NoSuggest is a quiet act of resistance against YouTube algorithms always trying to pull you into a loop of unlimited videos in turn into unlimited screen time. With unending side cards of videos, auto-play, what's next suggestions, YouTube shorts and notifications, users will be doom scrolling for many hours in a day.

I faced the same problem. Acknowledging that, not all content in YouTube is bad. There are educational videos, genuine news contents without political bias which is very hard to find outside YouTube and many other good relaxing, entertainment stuff.

NoSuggest lets you only follow the YouTube channels you like and removes all types of recommendation YouTube has. So you don't waste time on watching things which you never wanted to watch anyways.

UI is very simple. You add your favourite channels in "Channels" tab and latest 5 videos per channel excluding shorts would appear in "Feed" tab. "Search" tab is to search for specific videos to watch and "Saved" tab is to bookmark any video you want to watch later. Intention of NoSuggest is to provide whatever is necessary to extract whats good from YouTube all inside NoSuggest and leave out bad parts.

NoSuggest works in any devices. Install it as an app (PWA) in android and iPhone, or simply open in browser in laptops. No sign-in, no account creation or no card details. NoSuggest won't even ask your name. Total privacy for the users.

Parents can add the channels and save some educational videos and lock it with the pin for kids mode. Kids won't be able access unwanted additive contents inside NoSuggest.

Completely free, no string attached. Source available in Github through NoSuggest website.

I would love genuine feedback. Thank you very much for your attention on this matter.

Show HN: Browser Tools SDK – an optimal browser harness for agents

Show HN: Browser Tools SDK – an optimal browser harness for agents We’re open-sourcing Browser Tools SDK: a small TypeScript package to give any AI agent a reliable way to control a real browser. With just a few lines of code, you can give any agent a production-ready browser harness<p><pre><code> import { createAiSdkBrowserTools } from &quot;libretto-browser-tools&#x2F;ai-sdk&quot;; import { LocalBrowserProvider } from &quot;libretto-browser-tools&quot;; const { tools } = createAiSdkBrowserTools(new LocalBrowserProvider()); const result = await generateText({ model: anthropic(&quot;claude-sonnet-4-5&quot;), tools, prompt: &quot;Go to Hacker News and tell me the top story&quot;, }); </code></pre> We built the Browser Tools SDK because access to a browser is one of the most important tools of a productive agent, but we found many of the existing tools lacking. Using the insights we gained building Libretto, we were able to build the SDK so that it’s significantly more context and cost-efficient than other tools:<p>We compared Browser Tools SDK against agent-browser, playwright-cli, and dev-browser on 26 live-site tasks with GPT 5.6 Sol (best results from 3 runs). Browser Tools tied for the best pass rate at 24&#x2F;26 and came in about 55% cheaper per successful task than the next alternative ($0.106 vs $0.235) while also using far fewer tokens (1.45M vs 2.29M+). Benchmark methodology is in the repo.<p>The Browser Tools SDK only exposes 6 tools, of which only 2 are really important: `browser_snapshot` and `browser_exec`. The snapshot tool was designed from the ground up to be extremely context-efficient and provide agents the overview they need to know what to try next. The exec tool takes and executes raw Playwright code, of which the models have been trained on heaps of, and know how to use without much direction.<p>Works with AI SDK and Pi out of the box, plus a custom path for anything else. More frameworks are coming soon. You can also use any browser infra provider (Libretto Cloud, Kernel, Browserbase, etc.) or use `LocalBrowserProvider` to run Chromium locally (although that will have less anti-bot protections).<p>MIT licensed.
