Description
Take control of YouTube: blur thumbnails and titles per area, hide Shorts, comments, and end screens, and schedule focus hours. YouTube is designed to pull you from one video into ten more. This extension covers up the algorithm so you only see the video you came for. WHAT IT DOES • Blurs thumbnails, titles, and channel info on the homepage feed and the watch-page sidebar — the video you're actually watching stays untouched • Hover to reveal a video when you *choose* to look, or turn hover-reveal off for strict mode • Blocks YouTube's autoplaying hover previews • Hides Shorts entirely — shelves and menu entries • Optionally blurs search results and hides comments and end-screen suggestion cards • Adjustable blur intensity • Focus schedule: activate only during the hours you choose (overnight ranges supported) HOW TO USE Click the toolbar icon to open the control panel. Everything applies instantly — no page reload needed. Note: this is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google.
