Overview

YouTube Minimalist creates a cleaner, distraction-free YouTube experience by simplifying the interface and removing elements designed to capture your attention.
Key Features:

Automatic redirect to Subscriptions page instead of the algorithmic home feed
• Hides Shorts, recommendations, and "Watch Next" suggestions
• Removes comment sections and secondary navigation
• Disables infinite scroll with page refresh and usage alerts
• Clean, minimal styling throughout the site

How It Works:
This lightweight extension (~160 lines of JavaScript) modifies YouTube's interface locally in your browser. Navigation attempts to the home page or trending sections are redirected to your subscriptions feed.
Perfect For:
Users who want to watch content from their subscribed creators or educational videos without algorithmic recommendations.
Privacy:
Operates entirely in your browser. No data is collected, stored, or transmitted.
