Hey Product Hunt — kyto here, first-time hunter 👋
I built youtublur because YouTube’s empty space around the watch player always felt either too harsh (bright white) or too heavy (default theater). I wanted something softer—without turning into yet another “blur all the thumbnails” extension.
What it does (and doesn’t):
• Soft video-matched blur around the watch player
• Or a theme-matched solid fill for a calmer, quieter frame
• Preference saved from a simple toolbar popup
• Not thumbnail / suggestion / homepage blur
• Free · Chrome & Firefox · ~8 languages · no account · no tracking pitch
Install: Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons (links above). Support: youtublur@kyto.jp · https://kyto.jp/
I’d love feedback from PH: which mode do you reach for more—blur or solid—and does the effect feel right on ultrawide / theater layouts? Happy to answer permission or privacy questions too. Thanks for checking it out!
