Built ZenTube Focus, a minimal Chrome extension designed to strip away the chaos and make YouTube an intentional tool again. Here’s what it does in "Nuclear Mode": 🛑 Nukes the Home Feed: Replaces the entire homepage with a clean, distraction-free search bar asking, "What are you here to learn?" 🚫 Hides the Rabbit Holes: Completely removes the sidebar recommendations, Shorts shelf, end-screen cards, and autoplay overlays. 💬 Removes Comments: Hides the comment section so you don't get sucked into internet arguments. ☕ Built-in Break Mode: Need to unwind? You can pause Nuclear Mode and take a timed break. It gives you a banner counting down your break time, and once it's up, the lock is back on! ⚡ No Flashing: Built with robust MutationObservers, it catches YouTube's sneaky SPA (Single Page Application) navigations so you never even see a split-second flash of the home feed. Why did I build this? There are other blockers out there, but many of them break when YouTube updates or navigates without a full page reload. I wanted something lightweight that actually respects YouTube's routing under the hood, and still looks aesthetic and modern. If you struggle with intention-setting on YouTube, I’d love for you to give it a try. It’s completely free and open-source. Let me know what you think, and if there are any other features you'd like to see!
