YouTube Focus Mode

About

Take back control of your attention on YouTube. Instantly block clickbait Shorts, infinite comment sections, recommended grids, and related sidebar feeds.

YouTube Focus Mode is a lightweight productivity extension built for students, professionals, and creators who need to use YouTube for search, research, or tutorials without falling into recommended video traps. 

FREE DISTRACTION FILTERS:
• Block YouTube Shorts: Hides the sidebar Shorts link, homepage Shorts grids, and search result reels.
• Block Comments: Completely hides the comments section under videos.
• Block Home Feed Recommendations: Replaces the recommendation-heavy home feed with a clean search-only layout.
• Block Sidebar Recommendations: Hides the list of related videos next to the video player.

PRO FEATURES:
• Focus Schedules: Automatically enable and disable distraction filters during specific times of the day (e.g. 9 AM - 5 PM).
• Title Keyword Blocker: Filter out and hide video results containing specific terms in their titles (e.g., block videos containing "gaming", "unboxing").
• Stats Counter: Keep track of how many distracting elements have been blocked in real-time.

HOW TO USE IT:
1. Open the extension popup menu.
2. Toggle on any distractions you wish to hide (Shorts, comments, feeds, etc.).
3. Navigate on YouTube and enjoy a clean, focus-friendly learning platform.
