al-go Extension

The average viewer spends 49 minutes per day on YouTube. Don’t waste it looking for videos you don’t even want to watch.

1/ Disable Shorts
Shorts on desktop? You’re not psychotic.

2/ Hide views
More views doesn't mean better, right?

3/ Adjust recommended video length
4 hour videos? You might only be trying to kill a few minutes.

4/ Focus mode
Why so many damn videos? How about just one at a time.

It’s time to take back control.
