Thank you so much, Mr/Ms Dev :'] I do a lot of music & social media content as well as work a full-time 9-5PM software engineering job. There's so much to manage that the super colorful UIs, constantly moving images, thoughts of analytics, and all the other stimuli have become overwhelming make it difficult for me to concentrate. This extension allows me to go to YouTube and see...a simple home screen that forces me to slow down and think "why am I here? what do I need to see?". No distractions :].

What it lacks IMO is an optional password protection of the settings as a deterrent from a spontaneous impulse to disable it.
John Konate
Incredible. Helps me focus without all these distractions.

this extension has good intensions but it's too extreme i'm ok to remove the feed , shorts ecc but even the tool bar on the side so that i can't access the channels of the youtubers that i actually want to follow or the access to the music playlists on my account it's too mutch, plus the fact that there are no options to adjust the site to your liking take inspiration from new pipe where you can get a feed made from only the videos of the youtubers that you follow and access to the playlists it's everything or nothing at all with this extension

very nice for concentrating during study sessions

No disturbance, this is worth it.

Absolutely excellent! Just needs to hide the links to YT Gaming and it'll be perfect

generally never write reviews but it did reduce the yt's resource hogging

Does exactly what's needed. Takes away all distracting elements, and just gives me what I need. No excessive UI either, just really practical and functional. (Saved me from many a wasted afternoon!)

This is amazing, thanks so much. Edit: hey, recently the direct links to /feed/subscriptions and /feed/playlists stopped working with the extension on, would it be possible to get a toggle for them? thanks.

really good

Absolutely beautiful plugin! It lets me FOCUS!
Kelvin Osei
Okay , why doesn't this have a 5star review?
Szymon Mirek (Myrken)
Absolutely LOVE the design. My problem is that it is buggy a lot of time. In smaller window if you hover over timeline the image preview is buggy. And also sometimes it loads super weird. Also I would also like being able to click on chapters, because with this extension it doesn't pop up. But design is incredible!!

By far one of my favorite extensions to say I rely on this extension is an understatement. Removes the stress from YouTube. Thanks Ephraim.
Gustavo Lourenço
Thanks for developing this extension, it is very useful

Working for me - Sept 2024!

Broken. I think the only thing this extension should do, is minimize the home screen and the video screen, but it breaks the channel screen and YouTube Studio too. Why? Not usable.
Sangam Gupta
it stopped working or is it just me?

Now this is You Tube the way I want to use it. Thank you so much! The only small thing I dislike is that there are two timeline bars now and when you hover over it, the little preview frame that pops up gets cut off by the overlay) Oh and you can not visit channels only videos. i dislike this even tho it is probably a good thing in the end.

thank you so much... this extension is best for student... thank you thank you
Anushka Gupta
It does what it claims.

All this extension did was overlay recommended videos over the screen!

Its unusable as a creator because i cant access my channel.

works as intended
Nicolás Del Busto
you should put the like/dislike option, i dont understand why you switch them off. everything else does work nice
Dalton Connolley
You wanted minimalism, you got it.

Great extension. Does what it needs to but is a bit extreme
Morris PDL
what a king of an extension, in love
Michael Kneller
Really nice! However a couple of things: - It would be SO GREAT to be able to select different elements that you'd like to exclude from the UI. Sometimes I'd still like to have the comments in front of me. - There's a bug in which hovering over the timeline places the preview frame over which you're hovering UNDER the mouse instead of over it, obscuring it behind the edge of the frame. Otherwise nice work.

Not working .

I find the current youtube experience overwhleming and this cuts out all the noise. Perfect.

I thought I would build "Intentional Youtube" and ran into this. I think the idea is great, but the execution is a bit too aggressive for my use. I would also like to be able to see my subscriptions.
George Navarro
Awesome extension. I do value seeing comments, so it would be nice if that was parameterized to be enabled / disabled. Other than that it's simple and easy.
Alejandro Ramirez
Really good for students wanting to remove distractions. The only downside is that the Like/Dislike buttons are removed when active. I use the "Return Youtube Dislike" extension, which shows me likes and dislikes. I want the likes and dislikes activated so I can tell when a Youtube video example/explanation is good or bad. This makes it hard to determine that. Other than that, this extension is great.

İşini yapıyor evet ancak özelleştirme ayarları yok. Ben kendi çalışma amaçlı oynatma listeme erişemiyorum bu eklenti açıkken. Çalışmaya odaklanma amacıyla kurduğum bu eklentinin hiçbir esprisi kalmıyor yani. Ayrıca eklenti sayfanın yerleşimini bozuyor, soldaki erişim menüsünü kaldırdığı için tüm ekran sola kaymış ve sağ taraf bomboş olmuş. Çirkin gözüküyor.

this is incredible and probably saved me dozens of hours of productivity since I've been using it for probably a year now

This is a necessary extension for those who easily get distracted by YouTube and the recommendation algorithm. A good app for students and those wanting more productivity. 10 out of 10, would recommend!
Rik Wolterink
Seems to do exactly what it promises, which is great. One question though, how can I find my own channel (and thus my playlists) in this minimalist version?
