Do you think YouTube is overstepping boundaries and force feeding more content than you ever need? Then you'll love this extension!
You are given more control how your YouTube experience is tailored to you!
- Restrict specific parts of YouTube that could potentially lead to over using the site
- Choose to remove the home and shorts pages, home buttons, search bar, and list of video recommendations; or limit how many videos you are recommended per page
- Schedule specific times when YouTube is restricted
- Keep track of how much YouTube you're watching. Your daily time is tracked as well as your total time. Interpret what you will about your own usage.
- Create groups of keywords to detect potential spoilers of games, movies, or whatever else.
Thank you for using my extension!
I love you.
