DF Tube (Distraction Free for YouTube™)

five stars for the app, 0 stars to the Alphabet company that is enforcing enshittification on us by forcing us to listen to non-stop ads and use the algorithms it damn well knows lead to content promoting the alt-right, that sexualizes children, and that is designed in general to make us less in control of our own computers. Read Cory Doctorow and Ed Zitron, then ask yourself this: why would Google Chrome so badly need the ad revenue generated on YouTube when they're both part of a company with a 2.2 trillion market cap and gets over 100 billion in revenue each year (while saving billions in tax revenue by lobbying for tax cuts for large companies) that it has to disable a YouTube blocker extension? If you already have this extension, it still works. You know what my kids get exposed to when wanting to hear Taylor Swift songs? Just the Taylor Swift songs they chose. No playlists, no ads, no recommendations -- they get to hear the music they want to hear.

some guy in the reviews name Kyle Solowski provided how to keep using DF, I tried it and the method works. This extension is the best and it sucks chrome decided to get rid of it. " To continue using, just go into setting->Extensions->Manage Extensions-> (from here, you can find the extension and turn it back on) "

This extension was a blessing for me in university. It has saved me countless hours of unnecessary videowatching. Unfortunately, we see that Google has taken it upon themselves to remove this amazing tool that allowed users to self-regulate their online habits. If Google doesn't implement these features into native Youtube, I'm also ditching Chrome in protest. It's still usable if you do the following: go to extensions and reactivate it. Then go to "Details" and click "pin to toolbar" otherwise, it's no longer visisble in your extensions. For those wondering for an alternative: check out stylus. It allows for custom CSS on any website, allowing you to achieve the same thing.
