How much time do you spend on YouTube? If the answer is too much, then this extension will help you! NerfTube is an open source Chrome extension for digital detox. It reduces YouTube's addictiveness by: 🎨 Applying grayscale to drain the visual stimulation 🎞️ Lowering video FPS to reduce smooth, hypnotic motion 🧠 Making mindless browsing less appealing while keeping educational content fully usable This extension was built to address a personal pattern of spending way more time than intended on YouTube. Unlike other platforms, YouTube offers high-quality educational content, so a simple timer that blocks the site after some time wouldn't be the right fit. The platform also serves as a background music source, where a timer would be useless. The extension is fully open source, contributions are welcome 🤗
