Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Do you want to block or disable YouTube Shorts to stop Doomscrolling, but still catch the important ones? This extension lets you do just that with a customizable timeout feature. Set a delay (like 10 seconds or any value you prefer) before a Short plays, helping you avoid distractions while still being able to watch what matters.

Remove Recommendations and Comments: The extension provides a distraction-free browsing experience by allowing you to remove YouTube recommendations and comments.

Timeout Feature: To reduce the addictive nature of YouTube videos and shorts, the extension provides a timeout feature. It also helps in preventing you from endlessly scrolling YouTube shorts.

Break Feature: Need a break from the distraction blocker? The extension includes a break feature that allows you to temporarily disable the settings. During this break, you can study or simply chill out without the restrictions. You can also set custom break durations and configurations.
