Hey Product Hunt! I'm Sanath, maker of YT Blinders, I rely on YouTube almost daily to learn, but I constantly found myself losing focus down rabbit holes of unrelated videos and Shorts. * What YT Blinders does: * - Blinds distracting feeds (Home feed, recommendation sidebars, comments, and Shorts) - Leaves search, intentional viewing, and playlists completely intact - Fast, lightweight, zero bloat *100% Open Source & Privacy First:* - Zero tracking, zero analytics, no data collected—everything runs strictly locally in your browser. - Free and open source: Why build another extension? There were a few existing extensions that tried to address the same problem that I tried, but either tackled only half the problem or weren't open-source. Plus, I spent too long sitting on unfinished side projects waiting for them to feel "perfect"—this time, I just wanted to build a clean solution, execute, and ship. Would love your candid feedback, ideas, or how you handle algorithmic distractions while learning! 🚀
