Zelda Coulibaly (ID: 000000c99e0c04aa) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/25/2023 I always get distracted by the YouTube home page, especially when I'm just looking for one thing, so this is incredibly helpful. It also stops me from seeing side recommendations and then opening 20 YouTube tabs from how many videos I get interested in. Very well-thought-out concept, and even better is the way it's been realized!
