BlockersChrome Extension

Minimal YouTube

Even with block lists, the default YouTube chrome still nudges you toward more watching. Minimal YouTube swaps in a sparse layout focused on search and direct URLs.

Drop recommendation grids, Shorts modules, and other attention hooks while retaining core playback when you know exactly what to stream.
