YouTube Simple View nga Johnson Towoju

YouTube Simple View provides features to help minimize some of the unnecessary distractions on the Youtube web interface while watching videos.

Imagine the times you only wanted to watch a single video during work, only to end up watching multiple videos from the sidebar suggestions and losing focus.

Or when a video ends, and you end up binging the next one that plays automatically because autoplay was on.

This extension helps you stay focused when you need to by eliminating these distractions.

Features:

✅ Turn off auto-play — Automatically uncheck the auto-play setting to prevent subsequent videos from playing after the current video ends.
✅ Hide Sidebar — Hide or unhide the sidebar section from the layout.
✅ Hide Comments — Hide or unhide comments.
✅ Hide end-screen channel overlays — Hide or unhide channel overlays including suggested channel videos and channel profile cards that typically appear towards the end of a video.
✅ Hide end-screen youtube suggestions — Hide or unhide recommended youtube video thumbnails that typically appear at the end of a video.
✅ Hide end-screen navigation — Hide or unhide the navigation arrow buttons that appear at the end of a video (note: these buttons do not show on some screen sizes).
