YT Focus — Fight Brain Rot

About

YT Focus — Fight Brain Rot on YouTube
YouTube was designed to keep you watching. Every Shorts shelf, every 
autoplay, every recommended video after a video — it's all engineered 
to steal your attention. YT Focus gives you back control.

FEATURES
────────────────────────────────────
🚫 Hide YouTube Shorts
Remove every Shorts shelf from your feed, search results, and sidebar. 
The Shorts button disappears from the navigation too. Out of sight, 
out of mind.
⏸ Block Autoplay
Stop YouTube from automatically playing the next video. You decide 
what to watch next — not the algorithm.
🎯 Focus Mode
Hide the entire sidebar of recommended videos while you're watching. 
No rabbit holes. Just the video you chose to watch.
🏠 Hide Home Feed
Remove the YouTube homepage feed entirely. If you want to watch 
something, you have to search for it intentionally. No more mindless 
scrolling the moment you open YouTube.
💬 Hide Comments
Remove the comment section to eliminate social comparison, arguments, 
and the urge to keep scrolling past the video.
🖤 Grayscale Mode
Render YouTube in grayscale. Color is one of the most powerful 
dopamine triggers YouTube uses — removing it makes the site 
significantly less addictive.

WHY IT EXISTS
────────────────────────────────────
Brain rot is real. Shortened attention spans, compulsive scrolling, 
and the inability to watch a 20-minute video without checking your 
phone — these are symptoms of a feed designed to maximize watch time, 
not your wellbeing.
YT Focus is a simple tool with one goal: make YouTube intentional 
again. Use it to watch the business channels, lectures, or 
documentaries you actually want to learn from — without getting 
pulled into a Shorts spiral.

nothing else.
