Intentional YT: Hide Shots & Feed Distraction free by manasdotio

A lightweight, privacy-first extension to strip distractions from YouTube. Hide recommendation feeds, Shorts, and comments while keeping search and intentional viewing
intact.

YouTube is an incredible learning tool, but it's built to keep you scrolling. Intentional YT gives you back control over your attention by letting you choose exactly
what parts of YouTube you want to see.

You can hide distracting algorithm feeds while keeping the features you actually need—like search results, subscriptions, or specific channel pages.

What you can customize:

Feeds: Hide the homepage feed, sidebar recommendations, and "Up Next" suggestions.
• Shorts: Remove Shorts shelves, the Shorts tab, and auto-playing short-form loops.
• Engagement: Hide comments, live chat, end screens, and notification badges.
• Search Focus: Keep search clean by hiding trending blocks and recommended filler.
• Time Awareness: Set optional daily watch limits with gentle on-screen reminders.
• Blocklists: Filter out specific channels or keywords from showing up anywhere.

Privacy & Performance:

• 100% Local: No accounts, no analytics, no external servers. All settings and timers live entirely on your device in browser.storage.local.
• Fast & Lightweight: Built using targeted CSS injection and minimal JavaScript observers—no heavy frameworks or battery drain.
• Open Source: Check out the source code, inspect every line, or contribute on GitHub.
