Save countless hours by removing YouTube recommendations, comments, and more with this Chrome extension

August 18, 2019 / Fatos Morina / 0 Comments

YouTube is now one of the most distracting platform on the internet, due to its large amount of content that is uploaded on a regular basis and also because it is easier to use than, say, read articles on Medium. We can go there to watch something, but there can be many comments, or recommended videos on the side that take up a lot of our attention and our time. We may not even be aware and simply go and open another video in a new tab, which can lead to two or three other related videos opened.
