YouTube Click Tracker - Track YouTube visits to help reduce mindless browsing.

by
Instead of blocking videos or interrupting, the extension simply tracks when you enter YouTube from outside the site and provides helpful statistics about your browsing habits. Why use it? Many people open YouTube out of habit without realizing how often it happens. YouTube Click Tracker provides simple visibility into that behavior so you can make more intentional choices about when you visit the site. Plus, it's fun to see how long you can go without clicking on a YouTube link once.

I wanted to get rid of the habit of opening up YouTube mindlessly, which would often times completely distract me for hours. So I thought to make a simple Chrome Extension that would just track how often I opened up YouTube. That's all it took. After building the extension, I went 21 consecutive days without opening YouTube once on my laptop. All it took was knowing that my total clicks would go up. Now I feel like I finally have control over opening up YouTube.
