About YouTube Thumbnail Blur

Blur every thumbnail on YouTube — home feed, search results, watch page recommendations, Shorts, channels, playlists, subscriptions, history, notifications, and even the in-player end screen. Catches thumbnails that load dynamically as you scroll or navigate, so nothing slips through. Features: - Master on/off toggle, applied instantly, no reload - Adjustable blur strength - Blur style: soft blur or a flat solid block - Reveal on hover, on click, or never - Per-surface toggles (turn off blur for just Shorts, for example) - Scheduled blurring — set a daily window and it turns on/off automatically - Keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+B / Cmd+Shift+B) - Toolbar icon shows on/off state at a glance Privacy: this extension collects no data. Nothing is sent anywhere, ever. Your settings sync via Chrome's own storage; blur counters stay on your device.
