YouTube Focus Mode

Hide Shorts, comments, sidebar and end cards to stay focused on what matters.

Tired of YouTube dragging you into an endless Shorts spiral? YouTube Focus Mode is the ultimate distraction-free YouTube extension designed to clean YouTube, block YouTube recommendations, and help you take back control of your attention instantly — with zero setup, no account, and absolutely no cost. Whether you want to hide YouTube Shorts, remove YouTube comments, or completely transform your browser into a clean YouTube minimalist environment, this extension gives you full control. ✦ KEY FEATURES — Hide YouTube Shorts from your homepage, search results, and sidebar completely. — Block YouTube recommendations and the "Up Next" panel so YOU decide what to watch, not the algorithm. — Remove YouTube comments so you can consume educational content without noise, distractions, or toxicity. — Clean interface clutter and banners that add zero value to your learning. ✦ WHO IS IT FOR? — Students using YouTube to learn or study without falling into the Shorts rabbit hole. — Professionals watching tutorials who need to maintain deep focus. — Parents who want a calmer, clean YouTube environment for their kids. — Anyone looking for a high-quality YouTube productivity tool. ✦ HOW IT WORKS Install this YouTube blocker extension in one click. From the toolbar icon, toggle each filter independently based on your needs: hide just Shorts, block just comments, remove just recommendations — or clean everything at once for a fully minimalist experience. ✦ PRIVACY FIRST YouTube Focus Mode collects zero personal data. No tracking, no cookies, and nothing is sent to any server. Everything runs 100% locally in your browser. Full source code is public and available on GitHub for total transparency. ✦ FREE. INDEPENDENT. FOREVER. I built this focus YouTube Chrome extension to solve my own problem: I couldn't open the site without losing 45 minutes to random Shorts. As an independent developer at IMN Labs, I want to keep this tool accessible to everyone. If this extension saves you time and helps your productivity, you can support further development by buying me a coffee ☕ — but there is absolutely no pressure. Enjoy a truly distraction-free YouTube experience!
