About
Chrome extension that makes browsing YouTube more productive, relaxing, and intentional. Simplified search page: get the results you're actually searching for, instead of Shorts and other suggested content that can lead to hours of distraction. Simplified homepage: remove temptations, distraction, and optionality by having a focused homepage with only 3-6 suggested videos. Blur thumbnails: avoid distractions on YouTube by blurring the thumbnails on the homepage. Open code: view and contribute to the code at https://github.com/szge/MindfulYT
