Hello ProductHunt community! Don't you hate it when you open YouTube to study and learn a new topic but end up watching completely irrelevant comedy sketches and movie reviews? Sure, there are extensions that hide the entire home feed and recommendations but that defeats the purpose of YouTube in my opinion. While I do not want to see videos that might distract me, I still would like to see relevant videos that could help me understand more about the topic or in general the category I'm interested in. This extension allows you to choose specific video categories that you want to allow in your feed and blocks all other videos that might come in the way of your focus. So, while standup comedies, vlogs and music videos will be blocked from my feed, I'll still get recommendations about tech talks, educational videos, etc. It not only works on the home feed but also in the sidebar recommendations as well as the search results. The extension will even pause and hide a distracting video if you try to play it through its direct link. Speaking from my personal experience, this has been a game-changer for my YouTube usage. I no longer get side tracked into the YouTube rabbithole while working/studying and I still get my daily doze of educational contents or relevant recommendations. I can always disable the "focus mode" if I want a break and the hidden videos will reappear. I hope you guys like the product. I've made it open source and would highly appreciate any feedback or contribution: https://github.com/dotel-saramsz...
