Overview

Replaces YouTube thumbnails with a black screen. Cuts visual clickbait. Breaks the autoplay trap. Forces intentional choice.

UFocus — Stop Staring at Thumbnails. Enough is enough. You go to YouTube for one video. An hour later, you're watching part five of a documentary about tower repair in the Siberian wilderness. How did it happen? Simple: your brain got hooked by another shiny, clickable thumbnail. Sound familiar? It's a trap. And it's engineered to steal your attention. UFocus isn't about a new feature. It's about something more terrifying: being honest with yourself. This extension does one simple thing: it replaces all video thumbnails and previews with a black screen. No enticing faces, shocking frames, or catchy titles. Just video titles. Just text. You'll have to decide what you actually want, not just grab what's shiny. It's uncomfortable. It forces your brain to engage. To read. To think. To choose consciously, not just react to visual spam. This black screen is your mirror. * Want to procrastinate? You'll at least have to read the title. * Looking for a specific video? Use the search bar. * Want to kill time? You'll have to admit it to yourself, without the algorithm's sweet promises. UFocus is minimalism taken to the extreme. It's digital asceticism. It's a return to the basics: you either watch what you came for, or you close the tab and go do something meaningful. Install it. If you dare.
