Description from store
YouFocus hides distracting content on YouTube with just one click. Whether you're watching YouTube for educational content or just for entertainment purposes, there is no reason to get sucked into videos that you did not originally intend to watch.
70% of all videos watched on YouTube are those recommended to the user, not searched. With YouFocus, you can beat the YouTube algorithm and watch what YOU want to watch, not what YouTube is recommending.
YouFocus has a customizable experience. You can select which elements of YouTube you want to hide and which elements you want to see. The extension also has a schedule feature, allowing you block distractions during select hours.
YouFocus has intuitive, easy to use controls. Additionally, the state of your extension is synced with your google account, allowing you to use the extension on multiple computers at once.
Privacy is very important. YouFocus does not have access to your browsing history. YouFocus is open source! View the code on GitHub: https://github.com/leo3friedman/you-focus

- (2025-01-26) Sourav Gain: I have wanted this tool for years.
- (2024-11-22) Omar Alsabbagh: Exactly what I'm looking for
- (2024-10-31) Luna: Works great. was about to write bad review because I turned on the settings I wanted then pressed the you tube icon thinking that would suffice in reloading the page. It doesn't, so if it seems like it's not working, it's most likely because you're not fully reloading the page rather just the videos on the homepage of you tube. Click the actual refresh button and it works like a charm.
- (2024-09-30) Madeleine Hur: As a student who gets distracted easily, I LOVE this extension! It is very easy to use. By clicking on the chrome extension in Youtube, you have the option to hide comments, hide videos, hide sidebars, etc which makes it very simple. It has all worked really well for me and looks very clean. Love it!
- (2024-09-29) David: It stopped working. Does not hide comments any more.
- (2024-09-20) naugrim silvertree: Amazing! Doesn't seem to be malicious. Does what it says. The only problem is that if you toggle clean up sidebar, it also nukes the subscription feed that shows you the newest videos from your subscribed channels, meaning you have to check each channel directly to see anything. It would be nice if that was on a separate toggle, so I could get rid of the explore tab and home tab etc, without nuking subscriptions.
- (2024-08-01) unknownFREE: Personally I love this extension, very helpful! This sortout my distraction of Youtube.
- (2024-04-10) Toby Evans: Good, but does not remove the more videos tab that appears in the video player.
- (2024-02-05) Aman Sharma: Exactly what I needed
- (2022-09-01) Andrew K Kirk: Want to use Youtube for research or brief entertainment breaks. Unfortunately, the team at Google has developed the product to increase total watch time by hacking our brains to work against us. This extension is the perfect solution to allow me to continue to use Youtube without going down the black hole of related video content.

- (2020-10-13) Daniel Dessert: Probably the most useful extension i've ever had. It saves me so much time in my day to day life as I am not wasting valuable time on my recommended page on YouTube. I've gotten so much more done just because of this simple extension. I didn't think I needed it at first, but then once I got it and it activated, only then I realized how much of a help it was. The best thing about it is that you can turn it off and on. So when I need to get things done during the day, I turn it on, but after school, I turn it off. Amazing!!
