Safari extension · iPhone · iPad · Mac · Vision
You opened YouTube for one video.
Not the feed.
Curb hides the home feed on YouTube, Reddit, LinkedIn and X — inside Safari. Search still works. Messages still work. The scroll trap doesn't.

YouTube
Real screenshot from Safari on Mac. Feed hidden — replaced by a focus card and search box.
The difference
Flip a switch. The feed disappears.
YouTube up top — Reddit here. Same account, same Safari tab: flip Curb on and the feed is gone, replaced by a quiet search box. Works on LinkedIn and X too.
What it blocks
Four sites.
One extension.
Most blockers pick one platform. Curb covers the four places people actually lose an hour without noticing.
YouTube
Home feed, Shorts, comments, up next
Home, Popular, r/all
The home newsfeed
X
For You / Following timeline
Safari only, not the apps. Apple doesn't let extensions change the YouTube or Reddit apps. Curb works on the websites inside Safari. If a link opens an app, open the site in Safari instead.
One-minute setup
Three steps. Then it just works.
Enable Curb in Safari
Open Safari's extension settings and switch Curb on. Tick “Allow in Private Browsing” while you're there.
Set websites to Allow
This is the step people miss. Change permission from “Ask” to “Allow” for each site — or Allow on All Websites.
Visit a site. Check it.
Open youtube.com, reddit.com, linkedin.com or x.com in Safari. The feed should be gone. Works signed in or out.
Privacy
We can't see what you browse. Literally.
No accounts. No servers. No analytics. Curb runs entirely on your device — that's why the App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected.

Common questions
- Does it work in the YouTube or Reddit app?
- No — and no extension can. Curb only works on websites inside Safari. Open the site in Safari, not the native app.
- Do I need to be signed in?
- No. Curb hides the feed whether you're signed in or signed out.
- Does it block search or subscriptions?
- No. Only the endless home feed goes quiet. Search, messages, subscriptions and pages you open directly all keep working.
- What data does Curb collect?
- None. No accounts, no servers, no analytics. Everything stays on your device.
- Which devices are supported?
- iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro — anywhere Safari runs.
- Still stuck after setup?
- Email support@curbblocker.com and we'll help you get it working.
