About Distraction Free YouTube
YouTube Focus Mode helps you watch what you meant to watch — without falling down a recommendation rabbit hole.
YouTube is designed to keep you scrolling. Sidebar recommendations, autoplay end screens, the homepage feed, and endless Shorts shelves are all built to pull your attention away from the video you actually opened. This extension blurs those distractions out, instantly and automatically, every time you're on YouTube.
Features:
✔️ Blur sidebar video recommendations
✔️ Blur the comments section
✔️ Blur end screen suggestions
✔️ Blur the homepage feed
✔️ Blur the Shorts shelf
✔️ Toggle each option independently — turn off only what you want
✔️ One-click master switch to enable/disable Focus Mode entirely
✔️ Optional on-screen indicator so you always know when Focus Mode is active
✔️ Your video player is never blurred — only distractions
How it works:
Click the extension icon and use the toggles to choose exactly which parts of YouTube get blurred. Your preferences are saved automatically and sync across your devices when signed into Chrome.
Privacy first:
No data collection, no tracking, no external servers. This extension only runs on youtube.com and only changes what you see on the page — nothing is sent anywhere.
Stay focused on what matters. Watch the video, skip the rabbit hole.
