YouTube is a powerful tool for learning, engaging, and exploring but sometimes the user experience can lead us to throw all its potential out the window. YouTube's recommendations are so accurate and effective at getting us to continuously click and view videos mindlessly that we often fall prey to news blooper reels, 13 minute Vine compilations, and anything related or similar to Buzzfeed.
FocusTube allows you to unleash the full potential of YouTube as a tool for good by removing distractions, hiding unnecessary suggestions (i.e. temptations), and simplifying the interface. Installing this extension will reenable YouTube as an educational tool and unlock your capacity to learn and do good with YouTube. Goodbye mind numbing clips of people getting hit in the groin, hello productivity.
The core features of the plugin include:
- Hide channels, videos, and most other content on YouTube's homepage
- Hide comments while watching a video
- Hide suggested videos in sidebar while watching a video
- Hide suggested videos after watching a video
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
