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. This downward spiral wastes our time and energy and as a result, we are not inspired to work and work on our projects, or dedicate our efforts on important things.
Here is a Chrome extension that can help with that: This extension hides recommendations, comments (and live chats) and trending/subscriptions pages on the side which can also be very distracting. You may prefer to subscribe to many YouTube channels, but may not be able to control yourself from not watching so much unneeded content which you do as an escape route from a particular problem in which you got stuck.
YouTube Rabbit Hole comes with the following features:
– Replace suggested content with cute bunnies
– Hide comments (including livestream chats)
– Disable the trending and subscriptions pages
– Simplify the navigation drawer
– Disabling the wall of suggestions following a video
– Hiding banner-style ads to maintain a clean and distraction free environment
These options are also very customizable, thus giving you the opportunity to prepare it as you want.
