YouTube Sidebar Opacity

Control the opacity of YouTube's sidebar to reduce distractions while watching videos

💡 The Story Behind This Extension When I was watching YouTube videos in dark mode, the sidebar thumbnail colors were too bright/colorful and distracting - they kept drawing my attention away from the main video content. So I created this simple extension to dim the sidebar with opacity controls. Now the sidebar doesn't grab attention and I can focus on what I'm actually watching.
