Thank you for making this! Love that it blurs titles too! This is going to save me so much time not getting sucked down rabbit holes! I absolutely LOVE the one click on and off toggle too!

I really appreciate this add-on because it helps me stay focused by blurring YouTube videos. It's been very effective in reducing distractions. However, I noticed that I can still hover my mouse over the video titles to read them, which can be a bit distracting. It would be great if this could be addressed in a future update. Thank you for this helpful tool!

this add on is brilliant and does exactly what it says - the only thing i think is missing is the option to filter content you want blurred. say you dont want to be spoiled for a game or film that just released, or you hate all reaction videos or just one specific youtuber. or being able to whitelist and let educational channels through for example. just a thought!

Is YouTube Blur (so you stay focused) 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.

YouTube Blur (so you stay focused) requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
