Make YouTube Boring – Stay Focused, Stop Wasting Time!
Ever opened YouTube to learn something… and two hours later, you’re deep in a spiral of random videos, memes, or Shorts? MakeYouTubeBoring is the ultimate productivity tool (and it’s super easy to use!) for people who want to stop distractions and take back control of their time.
This free Chrome Extension helps you fight the YouTube algorithm and keep your mind on track by making YouTube less addictive. How? By progressively stripping away all the elements that keep you hooked.
✅ Why Use MakeYouTubeBoring?
YouTube is designed to keep you scrolling, but our extension flips the script. Whether you’re studying, working, or just tired of wasting time, MakeYouTubeBoring helps you focus on what you came for – learning, not endless distractions.
4 Boring Levels to Choose From
Level 0 – Normal YouTube: No changes, just in case you want to switch back.
Level 1 – Light Detox: Removes all flashy thumbnails and Shorts.
Level 2 – Heavy Focus Mode: Everything from Level 1 + Black & White videos + Hides comments.
Level 3 – Hardcore Productivity: Removes all distractions, clears YouTube Home, no related videos, no recommended rabbit holes.
Key Features
✔ Hide Thumbnails – Replace colorful clickbait thumbnails with boring black images.
✔ Remove YouTube Shorts – Eliminate the endless short-form video trap.
✔ Black & White Videos – Make videos visually dull so you don’t binge-watch.
✔ Hide Comments – Stop scrolling through toxic or time-wasting comments.
✔ Clear Home Feed – No more recommended videos pulling you in.
✔ Remove Sidebar & Related Videos – Say goodbye to algorithm traps.
✔ Simple & Lightweight – Runs in the background, always in sync with your preferences.
Who Is This For?
Students who want to study without falling into YouTube rabbit holes.
Professionals who use YouTube for tutorials but hate getting distracted.
Anyone who wants to reduce screen time and build better habits.
Why It Works
YouTube is addictive because of thumbnails, colors, recommendations, and endless Shorts. By removing these, the site becomes boring, plain, and functional. This means you only watch what you need, and then you leave.
✅ Download MakeYouTubeBoring now and take back your time!
Turn YouTube into a tool, not a trap. Stay focused, productive, and distraction-free.
