About
The productivity extension works on Youtube and helps users to view only the video they searched for. Any recommendations on home page or on the side bar are removed from the page so that user can only focus on what he is searching or currently watching. However, no impact is made on the search results of a keyword entered by the user and only Youtube recommendations are blocked to prevent the endless scrolling and return to work. The extension blocks all shorts as well..
