I was going to watch some tutorial which would help me but instead of watching my tutorial i used to get distracted by the homepage recommendation and was spending hours watching them. I am very happy to have it. Thank you for making it free.
- (2024-02-01) Mark Kashchenko: Thank you, this thing is amazing. I have had trouble staying concentrated and staying on task, my mind would subconciously almost get me on youtube and make me waste hours upon hours of time just watching useless brain dead garbage videos. It really gave me a lot of trouble in my life. But with this extension youtube became like a bland search tool that is not intoxicitating. I dont feel the same pull as before. Thank you so much.

- (2023-03-28) Andrew Baca: I am paranoid about security and privacy on my work machine so I reviewed the code for version 2.0.0 The code of this extension is simple and easy to read it's identical to the code on github. It does not try to read the cookies and does not tries to send data to external servers.

- (2022-10-16) BaseScript: I was about to install the other more known extension on my new user, but saw this one. I tried, and can say for sure this is a much better distraction free YouTube. The other one was messing up the CSS on the screen a lot. No issues, no floating text and a well done job. Thanks.
