Focused Youtube Extension

This is an open-source extension that changes homepage of Youtube (only search bar) and drops recommendations/comments from other pages.

Extension requires access to Youtube website to change its outlook.

Extension icon opens a popup with an option to show/hide the comments section of a video (to check timestamps in comments, for example). In the latest version, an option to temporarily disable the extension was added.

You can hover over the YouTube logo to access the navigation menu – playlists, liked videos, watch history, etc.

Enjoy <3

Important: the extension doesn't collect any data about Youtube usage.

Bammy (ID: 000000e681e423dc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/30/2023 No distractions whatsoever. Great extension and helps me study without distracting myself. Also, comments can be optionally added within the extension, I use them as they are useful sometimes.
