Youtube Zen Mode chrome extension

Chrome Extension for youtube that keeps you out of the time wasting video loop by blocking suggestings and comments. Because one of the easiest ways to break a bad habit is to remove its triggers - out of sight out of mind.

What it does:

  • hides recommended videos on frontpage
  • hides sidebar while watching a video
  • hides comments
  • hides video suggestions after finishing a video

Install

  • Clone this repo or download zip
  • Open chrome://extensions as a tab
  • Activate Developer mode // Entwicklermodus
  • Click on "load unpackaged extension"
  • Select the cloned directory

Why

I often find myself drawn to youtube because of one or two good videos I have in mind.
Yet I often stay for way longer than that, just to read the comments or watch another potentially interesting video from the recommondations.
I also found it annoying that instead of focussing on the video and making up my own mind I have always been heavily influenced by the comments.

To break these bad habits I made this chrome extension.

If you want to help improve its reliability just open an issue or make a pull request.
