It works very well. I can't live without it.

I LOVE this Extension, i love how it change the main page (first two images), the little menu (last image) And the CLEAN search (third image). But, i need to modified it, i often look at streams on YouTube (it remove the live chat), and i don't like all videos on cinema mode (four image) and, i needed to manually change the dark/light mode, i have ResistFingerprinting (an privacy protocol), couldn't change to dark mode :/. There is no built in option to change it, it follows your system mode. I want to suggest a Focused For YouTube extension that only adds the little menu, the main page clean, and the Search clean; my modifications are so poor, im not an expert by Far. Very Much Thanks For this amazing Extension ^^

Is Focused for YouTube Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Focused for YouTube requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
