Yotube offers its creators a large number of tools and options, in addition to trying to ensure that users who visit the platform and view videos, stay within it for as long as possible. YouTube achieves this engagement not only with the quality content of the YouTubers but also by offering content related to the video that you are viewing or that you have just viewed.

For several months, YouTube has begun to show suggested and related videos on the final screen of the video you just watched. This causes that every time you finish playing a video on YouTube, video recommendations are displayed. These recommendations will be based on your viewing history and these recommended videos will be displayed in thumbnails (cover images of each video).
If you click on any of the suggested videos thumbnail, it will automatically play on YouTube. However, you should know that this type of recommended videos at the end of the video you have played, will only be shown in case you have disabled Youtube AutoPlay option. This means that YouTube tries to keep the user watching videos at all times.
This can be quite annoying to certain YouTube users who, in addition to not wanting videos to be played automatically, also do not want video suggestions to be shown on the final screen of the video displayed. The problem is that YouTube does not have any specific settings that allow you to disable video suggestions on the final screen of the video.
However, it should be noted that there are certain extensions for YouTube such as Iridium that precisely allows you to deactivate these suggestions at the end of the video. These extensions must be configured so that it correctly blocks the suggestions of videos at the end of the visualization of one of them.
Once achieved, when you finish viewing a YouTube video, you will see that instead of a panel with the suggested videos, what you will see will be a black screen without the thumbnails of the suggested videos. On the other hand, if you are a user who already uses Adblock Plus, you should know that you can enable specific YouTube rules that will eliminate the recommendations from the end screen of the videos viewed.
Another extension that you can use to block suggestions on the end screen of YouTube videos is: uBlock Origin. This is probably the best content blocker currently. Below we show you step by step how to add a rule manually to deactivate the suggestions on the final screen of YouTube videos:

As we have mentioned, alternatively, it is possible to use the rules of Adblock Plus. To use this add-on for blocking content suggested at the end of the YouTube video you will have to double-click on the Adblock Plus add-on icon so that when the menu is displayed you can select the gear-shaped icon.
This will give you access to the extension’s Settings. On this screen you will have to select the Advanced section. This will show all the related settings from which you will have to click the blue button: Start creating my filter list.
This will give you access to a list in which you will have to add the following lines:
- ##. videowall-endscreen
- youtube.com ##. html5-endscreen-content
- youtube.com ##. html5-endscreen
- youtube.com ##. html5-endscreen.ytp-player-content.videowall-endscreen.ytp-show-tiles
Once you have entered the following lines, you must click on the Save button. From this moment you will not see any suggested video on the final screen of the video displayed on YouTube.
