  DeTube (Beta) — Distraction-Free YouTube
  Take back your focus and customize your YouTube experience. DeTube allows you to hide the clutter, silence the algorithms, and turn YouTube into a tool that works for you, not against you.
  
  🎯 Why DeTube?
  YouTube is designed to keep you watching for as long as possible. DeTube gives you the power to disable the addictive elements of the platform, allowing you to watch what you intended without getting lost in "the rabbit hole."
  
  ✨ Key Features:
  
  1. Clean Up the Interface
  Hide the Search Bar, Notifications, and the "Create" button.
  Remove distracting top content filters and suggestions.
  
  2. Focus on Your Content
  Feed Control: Hide the Home Recommendations grid and the Shorts shelf.
  Player Enhancements: Enable Cinematic Focused View, hide the sidebar, and even toggle Grayscale mode for a truly neutral experience.
  Hide Vanity Metrics: Remove subscriber counts, view counts, and likes to focus on the content, not the popularity.
  
  3. Streamline Navigation
  Hide the Shorts tab, Subscriptions list, and Explore sections.
  Remove "Watch Later," "Liked Videos," and "History" links from the sidebar.
  
  4. Minimalist Video Page
  Hide Comments, Descriptions, and Related Videos.
  Remove Autoplay, Join, and Share buttons for a distraction-free watch session.
  
  🛡️ Privacy & Security
  No Data Collection: DeTube does not track your watch history or collect any personal data.
  Local Storage: Your settings are saved locally on your browser.
  Open & Transparent: Simple, effective, and lightweight.
  
  🚀 How to Use:
  Install DeTube.
  Click the icon in your toolbar to open the control panel.
  Toggle the elements you want to hide in real-time.
  Enjoy a cleaner, more intentional YouTube experience!
