Make watching YouTube more comfortable and immersive. This extension customizes the area around the video player to create a gentler, more relaxing viewing environment.

✨ Main features — Switch freely between two background modes to match your mood or use case.

1. Blur mode (video blur) The area around the player shows a real-time soft blur that follows the colors of the video you’re watching. It adds a cohesive look across the screen—like watching in a cinema or a room with soft ambient light—for a more immersive feel.

2. Solid mode (light gray) The empty space around the player is filled with a simple, eye-friendly light gray. With less visual noise on screen, it’s easier to focus on the video itself.

💡 How to use — Setup is simple.

After installing the extension, open a YouTube watch page.
Click the youtublur icon in the Chrome toolbar to open the popup.
Choose either “Solid (light gray)” or “Blur (video blur)”—that’s it!
Your choice is saved automatically and carries over the next time you watch.

🎯 Recommended if you want…

A more beautiful, immersive viewing experience
Something softer than YouTube’s default dark theater look or stark white backgrounds
A calmer layout with less clutter and a gentler feel for your eyes

YouTubeの動画視聴をより快適に、美しく没入感のあるものにする拡張機能です。 動画プレイヤー周辺の背景領域をカスタマイズし、目に優しくリラックスできる視聴環境をサポートします。

✨ 主な機能・特徴 気分や用途に合わせて、2つの背景カスタマイズモードを自由に切り替えられます。

1. ブラーモード（動画のぼかし） 再生している動画の映像と色合いに合わせて、プレイヤーの周囲に美しい「ぼかしエフェクト」をリアルタイムで投影します。 画面全体に一体感が生まれ、まるで映画館や間接照明の部屋で観ているかのような高い没入感を演出します。

2. 単色モード（薄いグレー） 動画プレイヤーの余白部分を、シンプルで目に優しい明るいグレー（ライトカラー）で塗りつぶします。 余計な視覚情報が減るため、画面をすっきりさせて動画のコンテンツそのものに集中したい方におすすめです。

💡 使い方 設定・操作はとてもシンプルですぐに使えます！

拡張機能をインストール後、YouTubeの動画再生ページを開きます。
Chromeのツールバーにある「youtublur」の拡張機能アイコンをクリックし、ポップアップを開きます。
「単色（薄いグレー）」または「ブラー（動画のぼかし）」から、お好みのモードを選択するだけ！
※選択したモードは自動的に保存され、次回以降の動画視聴時にも設定が引き継がれます。

🎯 こんな方におすすめ

動画をもっと美しい画面・没入感の高い環境で楽しみたい方
YouTubeデフォルトの真っ暗なシアターモードや極端な白背景が合わないと感じる方
余白をすっきりさせて、目に優しい環境で動画を視聴したい方
