    YouTube's homepage is designed to keep you watching. CurateBox puts you back in control.Instead of opening YouTube and getting pulled into recommended videos you never asked for, CurateBox lets you decide what you're watching before you even open the site. 
    
    Organize your favorite channels into custom categories, see their latest videos at a glance, and jump straight to what you actually want to watch.
    
    How It Works
    Visit any YouTube channel page, refresh the page, and then click the purple "+ Add to Category" button that appears near the Subscribe button. Come back to the CurateBox extension icon whenever you want to watch something intentionally. That's it!
