CleanFeed — Hide YouTube Distractions | 14 Blockers, Focus Lock, Pomodoro

Hide YouTube's homepage feed, Shorts, recommendations, comments. 14 toggleable blockers + Pomodoro Focus Lock.

YouTube is engineered to keep you scrolling. The homepage feed, the sidebar suggestions on watch pages, the end-screen overlays, Shorts, the wall of comments — none of it is there by accident. It's all there to keep you on the site longer. CleanFeed hides those parts. Just those parts. The videos you actually search for still play normally. — 10 toggles. Turn on what bothers you, leave the rest alone. — Homepage feed (just a search bar) — Shorts, everywhere they appear — Sidebar recommendations on watch pages — End-screen video suggestions — Comments (with a "show comments" button so you can still read them when you actually want to) — Trending and Explore tabs — Live chat on streams — Autoplay (auto-disabled on every video) — Thumbnails (replaced with neutral placeholders — pick videos by reading titles, not by falling for clickbait) — Algorithm shelves on the Subscriptions page (chronological only) Works on YouTube Music too. — Focus Lock Set a 4-digit PIN, pick a duration (30 minutes to "until I unlock"), and every blocker force-enables. The popup toggles get disabled. Need to bail early? Hold the unlock button for 60 seconds straight. The friction stops impulsive "just one quick video" disables but never traps you in a genuine emergency. PIN is hashed with SHA-256 and a random salt. It never leaves your browser. — Time tracker Minutes spent on YouTube today, this week, and a rolling 7-day average. Only counts when a YouTube tab is focused and visible — background tabs don't lie to you. — Pause for an hour Sometimes you genuinely need recommendations — finding new music, researching a topic. Click pause, every blocker steps out of the way for 60 minutes, then auto-resumes. — Right-click to block a channel See a channel you'd rather never see again? Right-click any of their videos → "Block this channel with CleanFeed." Gone from your homepage, sidebar, search, everywhere. — Pricing Free: any 2 blockers active at a time. Forever. No trial that expires, no daily limits. Pro: $4.99 one-time. Unlocks all 10 blockers, Focus Lock, channel whitelist, right-click channel blocking, and custom CSS. Lifetime updates. No subscription. — Privacy Everything runs locally in your browser. No analytics, no telemetry, no data sent to a server. CleanFeed doesn't know what you watch. The only network calls go to ExtensionPay when you upgrade or log in — that's it. Full privacy policy: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VeryBrightSky/cleanfeed/main/PRIVACY.md — Heads up: YouTube updates its layout occasionally, which can briefly break individual blockers. If something stops hiding, it usually means a selector needs updating. Email vitowebpro@gmail.com if you spot one. Made by an independent developer. No ads in the extension, no upsells, no email list.
