Focused YouTube is a Firefox add-on designed to streamline the YouTube viewing experience by eliminating distractions. This small yet powerful extension, at only 16 KB, effectively removes video suggestions and promotions from the pause menu, embeds, overlays, and sidebars, allowing users to focus solely on the content they wish to watch. Additionally, it provides optional features to remove home screen videos, the subscription sidebar, and even the comments section, creating a more immersive and distraction-free environment.

This add-on is particularly beneficial for users seeking to reduce the temptation of YouTube's algorithm-driven recommendations. It is recommended to be used in conjunction with ad-blockers like uBlock Origin for optimal performance. For those who prefer a customized approach, Focused YouTube is also available as a userstyle, with its source code accessible on GitHub.
