Hi folks,
this version adds a few more functions and also makes the app more logically organised:
- you can now hide view counts, like counts, and subscriber counts
- the app has been redesigned with an extra heading, a sticky footer, etc. to make it easier to get an overview of its functionality
- improved CSS selector when hiding the entire sidebar, so that video is no longer cut off (iPad in landscape mode only)

More3.9
April 11, 2023
Hi folks,
this version makes sure that you don't get locked out of the app by mistake, by limiting the max delay time to 600 seconds before the settings show.
If you find that this isn't enough friction to hold yourself accountable, let me know what you think on GitHub: https://github.com/ulyngs/open-source-no-distractions-for-youtube/issues
Enjoy!
Ulrik
More3.8.1
April 3, 2023
Hi folks,
this update fixes a bug in which the timestamps might not show up in the right hand sidebar when related videos were hidden.
It also makes the app more intuitive by making the default that elements are shown unless actively hidden.
Remember that the app is open source. Submit feedback and suggestions here: https://github.com/ulyngs/open-source-no-distractions-for-youtube
Enjoy!

Description of "No Distractions" for YouTube
----
*NOTE*: This app lets you control how YouTube appears in the Safari browser. It does not change the YouTube app, as this 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 make this just as easy as opening the app.
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, and other distractions on the front, search, and watch pages. 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
