QuietView - Distraction-Free YouTube™ per Joseph Bee

QuietView declutters YouTube™ so you can focus on watching-not wandering.

WHAT IT HIDES
• Home page recommendations and sidebar suggestions
• Shorts shelves and "related" carousels
• Comments, live chat, and end-screen cards
• The "Up next" panel and other attention-grabbers
• Works across youtube.com (and m.youtube.com where extensions are supported)

CUSTOMIZE YOUR VIEW
• Toggle individual elements on/off from the toolbar popup
• Choose a Balanced, Strict, or Custom preset
• Runs at document-start for the cleanest, flicker-free load
• Quickly pause or re-enable QuietView if you need the defaults back

PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS
• No accounts, no analytics, no external servers
• Uses "storage" permission only to save your preferences locally
• Needs host access to https://.youtube.com/ to modify the page
• Your data never leaves your device

LIGHTWEIGHT BY DESIGN
• Minimal content scripts, no heavy background work when you're not on YouTube
• Designed to avoid breaking core features like playback, search, likes, and subscriptions

WHY QUIETVIEW?
YouTube is great for learning and entertainment—until recommendations and sidebars pull you off course. QuietView removes the noise so you can stay focused on what you came to watch.
