About Intentional YouTube

Tired of YouTube deciding what you watch next? Intentional YouTube strips away the noise so you stay in control: Hide Home — Redirects youtube.com to your Subscriptions. No more algorithmic homepage. Hide Shorts — Removes Shorts from everywhere: sidebar, shelves, search results, channel pages. Navigating to a Short redirects you back. Hide Distractions — Removes the recommendations sidebar, autoplay, suggested videos, end-screen overlays, and Trending/Explore links. The watch page expands to full width — just the video, description, and comments. Monk Mode — Locks YouTube down to only Subscriptions, Search, and Channels. Everything else redirects to your Subscriptions feed. No data collected. No ads. No tracking. Open source. https://github.com/gabrielgustavoandrade/intentional-youtube
