YouTube Blanket Extension

Overview:

This browser extension has been designed to minimize distractions while using YouTube. Often, when trying to focus on work, opening YouTube exposes us to video suggestions that can divert our attention from the task at hand. YouTube Blanket aims to provide a focused viewing experience by allowing users to TOGGLE the visibility of video thumbnails.

Features

Toggle Extension Icon:

After installing the extension, pin it on the toolbar. On click, the extension icon button enables and disables the display of all thumbnails on YouTube, ensuring you only see the videos you intend to watch.

Limit Feature:

Users have the option to set a limit on the number of times they can toggle the \"blanket\" on or off. Once the limit is reached, a pop-up notification will remind the user to stay focused.

Reset Count:

Users can reset the toggle count, giving them flexibility in managing their viewing preferences.

Options Page:

To access the Options page for configuring the Limit and Reset counter, simply right-click on the extension icon on the browser toolbar.

Enjoy an uninterrupted and productive viewing experience with YouTube Blanket!
