Description
⚬ PROBLEM: Youtube has lot's of new sections in home (they've been forever), and dang i don't like them at all, Ability to limit (or disable) them will work wonders (crude implementation will work for me) basically i don't want anything from Explore more topics
Maybe delete anything after (including this, may be also need to especially delete ytd-continuation-item-renderer element)
⚬ SOLUTION: Like Thumbnails Per Row and another option to limit rows or hide Other Sections/Disable Infinite Scrolling
⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE: I like it, and many users of untrap for youtube use this feature.
⚬ "SIDE EFFECTS": inconsistent element positioning perhaps, home page may look weird, loading problems ?
⚬ CONTEXT: This feature may be similar to one available in Untrap for youtube,

Thank you!
| SHORT Table | (Summary) |
|---|---|
| Problem | Lots of unnecessary doom scrolling garbage on home screen, may be better than search page option |
| Solution | count and delete ytd-rich-item-renderer OR Maybe delete all elements after ytd-rich-section-renderer (especially ytd-continuation-item-renderer responsible for doom scrolling) |
| Scope | Home page, near Thumbnails per row option |
| Side effects | May mess with styling |
| Context | Home Page |
