YouFocus hides distracting content on YouTube with just one click. Whether you're watching YouTube for educational content or just for entertainment purposes, there is no reason to get sucked into videos that you did not originally intend to watch.

70% of all videos watched on YouTube are those recommended to the user, not searched. With YouFocus, you can beat the YouTube algorithm and watch what YOU want to watch, not what YouTube is recommending.

YouFocus has a customizable experience. You can select which elements of YouTube you want to hide and which elements you want to see. The extension also has a schedule feature, allowing you block distractions during select hours.

YouFocus has intuitive, easy to use controls. Additionally, the state of your extension is synced with your google account, allowing you to use the extension on multiple computers at once.

Privacy is very important. YouFocus does not have access to your browsing history.

Works great. was about to write bad review because I turned on the settings I wanted then pressed the you tube icon thinking that would suffice in reloading the page. It doesn't, so if it seems like it's not working, it's most likely because you're not fully reloading the page rather just the videos on the homepage of you tube. Click the actual refresh button and it works like a charm.

As a student who gets distracted easily, I LOVE this extension! It is very easy to use. By clicking on the chrome extension in Youtube, you have the option to hide comments, hide videos, hide sidebars, etc which makes it very simple. It has all worked really well for me and looks very clean. Love it!
