A Chrome extension to create a distraction-free YouTube environment for students and researchers.
YourTube Extension
YourTube is a Chrome extension designed to help students, researchers, and focused learners stay productive by transforming YouTube into a distraction-free platform. Whether you use YouTube for educational content, tutorials, or lectures, YourTube ensures that you can focus on what matters most—your selected playlists—without interruptions from suggestions, comments, or unrelated videos.
