Unhook: A Browser Extension to Stop Procastination on YouTube
Do you find yourself getting distracted on YouTube?
I know I do. I used to spend hours on YouTube, just getting sucked into one video after another. The recommended sidebar, endscreen video suggestions, user comments, and other elements were all major distractions.
But then I found Unhook. Unhook is a browser extension that removes distractions on YouTube. It’s available for Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.
With Unhook, I can finally focus on the videos I’m watching. I can remove the recommended sidebar, endscreen video suggestions, user comments, homepage related videos feed, and turn off autoplay. This has helped me to stay focused on the task at hand and to get more out of my YouTube experience.
Before using Unhook, I would often get distracted for hours on YouTube. I would start watching a video, and then I would get sidetracked by the recommended sidebar or the endscreen video suggestions. I would click on one video, and then another, and then another. Before I knew it, I had been on YouTube for hours and I hadn’t accomplished anything.
But now, with Unhook, I can focus on the videos I’m watching. I can remove all of the distractions, and I can just focus on the content. This has helped me to save time and to be more productive.
If you’re looking for a way to improve your focus on YouTube, then I highly recommend Unhook. It’s a free and easy-to-use extension that can make a big difference.
With Unhook, you can:
- Remove the recommended sidebar: The recommended sidebar is a list of videos that YouTube thinks you might be interested in. It’s often the first thing you see when you open a YouTube video, and it can be a major distraction.
- Remove endscreen video suggestions: Endscreen video suggestions are the videos that are displayed at the end of a YouTube video. They’re often very tempting to click on, but they can easily lead you down a rabbit hole of distractions.
- Remove user comments: User comments can be a great way to interact with other people who are watching the same video as you. However, they can also be a major distraction.
- Remove the homepage related videos feed: The homepage related videos feed is a list of videos that are related to the videos you’ve watched in the past. It’s a great way to discover new videos, but it can also be a major distraction.
- Turn off autoplay: Autoplay is a feature that automatically starts playing the next video in a playlist or the next video that is related to the video you’re watching. It can be a great way to keep watching videos, but it can also be a major distraction.
Unhook is a free and easy-to-use extension that can help you improve your focus on YouTube. If you’re looking for a way to get more out of your YouTube experience, then Unhook is a great option.
