Description

The extension blocks youtube Shorts and removes clickbait. It makes you productive by cutting down your time spent on distracting websites.

Replaces thumbnails and modifies titles of videos on youtube.com This extension replaces thumbnails with a frame from the video, effectively removing any clickbait while still showing a high-quality thumbnail so you can still get a good idea of what the video is about.

Focus is the single most important thing, but sadly all major websites are trying to catch your attention. This Extension works against the algorithm of major websites like youtube, LinkedIn, and medium and removes those distracting elements.

It removes the clickbait thumbnails present on youtube and thus helps you cut down the excess time spent on youtube.

Removes unwanted notifications from websites like Stackoverflow, Linkedin, Github etc so that you can focus on your work. It slows down the distracting sites so that the whole experience of browsing them becomes a little painful. The videos on youtube, Instagram, and Reddit will start buffering more.
