- An innovative and refined tool for English learners! Blur Subtitles introduces a clever way to improve English listening skills by partially obscuring YouTube subtitles — encouraging users to rely on their ears before confirming with text. While I’ve seen similar concepts before, this extension takes it further with a more polished and effective implementation compared to others like eJoy. It’s an excellent aid for learners who want to sharpen their comprehension naturally. Suggestion: I’d love to see an auto-pause on hover feature added — ideally as a toggle. This would make the experience even smoother and more learner-friendly. Highly recommended for anyone practicing English through YouTube — a simple yet powerful tool you shouldn’t miss.
