Youtube Blocker: White-listed Channels with Time Control

'Youtube Blocker' is a Chrome extension designed to control and limit YouTube content exposure. It allows users to block all YouTube videos, with the exception of channels they have specifically white-listed. A standout feature of the extension is its capability to set maximum daily usage time limits for Youtube, which can differ for weekends and weekdays. The white-listing is protected by a password for an added layer of security.
