About YouTube Focus Mode

Take back control of your attention on YouTube. Instantly block clickbait Shorts, infinite comment sections, recommended grids, and related sidebar feeds. YouTube Focus Mode is a lightweight productivity extension built for students, professionals, and creators who need to use YouTube for search, research, or tutorials without falling into recommended video traps. FREE DISTRACTION FILTERS: • Block YouTube Shorts: Hides the sidebar Shorts link, homepage Shorts grids, and search result reels. • Block Comments: Completely hides the comments section under videos. • Block Home Feed Recommendations: Replaces the recommendation-heavy home feed with a clean search-only layout. • Block Sidebar Recommendations: Hides the list of related videos next to the video player. PRO FEATURES: • Focus Schedules: Automatically enable and disable distraction filters during specific times of the day (e.g. 9 AM - 5 PM). • Title Keyword Blocker: Filter out and hide video results containing specific terms in their titles (e.g., block videos containing "gaming", "unboxing"). • Stats Counter: Keep track of how many distracting elements have been blocked in real-time. HOW TO USE IT: 1. Open the extension popup menu. 2. Toggle on any distractions you wish to hide (Shorts, comments, feeds, etc.). 3. Navigate on YouTube and enjoy a clean, focus-friendly learning platform.
