About "No Distractions" for YouTube
----
*NOTE 1: THIS APP WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY FURTHER UPDATES*: I am now spending my time working on ReDD Focus, which works on ALL websites. You can find it here on the App Store.
*NOTE 2: WORKS WITHIN SAFARI, NOT THE YOUTUBE APP*: This app lets you control how YouTube appears in the Safari browser. It does NOT change the YouTube app (which is not possible).
However, you can create an icon on your iPhone/iPad's home screen to take you directly to YouTube in the Safari browser. To do so: Open Safari, go to youtube.com and press the sharing icon (with the up-arrow), press 'Add to Home Screen' and 'Add'.

"No Distractions" for YouTube is an open-source Safari App Extension I built to help myself. It lets you take control over your use of YouTube instead of letting the YouTube algorithms control you...!
It does this by letting you hide video recommendations, other distractions on the front, search, and watch pages, or any custom element you want. You can also choose to hide thumbnail images. Oh, and the app also also hides the ads that are inserted in your search results. :)
You can decide for yourself which parts you want to see, by clicking the extension icon.
If you want the app to remember your settings for next time, click 'save settings'.
If you need to add a little friction to change the settings, so that you don't turn distractions back on too easily, you can set a wait time. This will make you wait e.g. 5 seconds when you open the settings before they appear.
The app is open source and does not collect any data. You can inspect the source code, report bugs, and suggest additional features or improvements on: https://github.com/ulyngs/open-source-no-distractions-for-youtube

Hi folks,
this update fixes a number of broken selectors, and also signals that you should now move to our newer open-source extension ReDD Focus instead.
ReDD Focus does everything "No Distraction" for YouTube does, but also works on ANY website, not just YouTube.
Cheers,
Ulrik
