Extension summary

UPDATE: You can now click YouTube links directly and have the video show directly on YouWork (without having to search for the video).

YouWork redirects YouTube links to a clean, distraction-free version of YouTube. No "recommended videos", no "related videos", no comment, no likes, no side ads, no distractions.

This helps prevent binge-watching videos and going down rabbit holes. This way, when you need to watch a video during your work-period, you can do so without the risk of getting distracted through videos that would show up on your YouTube dashboard.

Right-click YouWork anytime for the option to pause. Click the YouWork icon anytime, to use a popup version. YouWork redirects to https://tash-had.github.io/YouWork/
