Hider is a free Chrome add-on developed by Benjamin Floyd Rubin. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically, Add-ons & Tools. With Hider, you can regain control of your focus and eliminate distractions while browsing YouTube.

This add-on offers several features to help you hide different page elements on YouTube. You can easily remove distractions such as click-baity thumbnails, unnecessary search results, and more. By hiding these elements, you can avoid mindlessly clicking through videos and stay focused on what matters.

Hider allows you to toggle various elements on different pages of YouTube. On the home page, you can hide the navigation bar, side bar, all videos, shorts, and thumbnails. On video pages, you can hide the navigation bar, video player, recommendations, title and description, comments, thumbnails, and live chat. And on search results pages, you can hide the navigation bar, side bar, all results, shorts, thumbnails, and irrelevant search results.

Stay tuned for future updates to Hider, as the developer plans to add support for popular websites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more. With Hider, you can regain control of your focus and enjoy a distraction-free browsing experience on YouTube.
