What's New in "No Distractions" for YouTube

4.10

June 2, 2026

Hi folks, this update fixes a number of broken selectors, and also signals that you should now move to our newer open-source extension ReDD Focus instead. ReDD Focus does everything "No Distraction" for YouTube does, but also works on ANY website, not just YouTube. Cheers, Ulrik

Does exactly what it says

Straightforward, works really well

Works as advertised!

Youtube keeps adding things to the subscriptions page that makes it hard to just see all of the uploads in order. This fixes that perfectly!

Buy this for yourself

If you buy just one thing for yourself this year make it this app. This is a browser extension for safari whoโ€™s app lays out exactly how to install and configure it. Was very easy to set up and use. It leaves settings such as dark mode unchanged . Thumbnails for search results can be blocked or blurred by tapping the box next that heading, tap multiple times to cycle through blur/block/on.
