Remove buttons and other addictive elements from YouTube so I can not use it so much.
A brief description of the project, purpose, and its goals.
This Chrome extension project is to help myself (and possibly others) manage their YouTube watch habits. Completely blocking YouTube in a generic sense using other content blockers doesn’t work because its too restrictive and I can easily turn it completely off whenever.
Since this extension is being specifically designed for YouTube, it can do more than just blocking the entire site; it’ll be able to more accurately track watch times, remove specific buttons and features that feed into YouTube addiction, such as home button and unlimited video recommendation refreshes.
The goal is to ultimately build a better relationship with YouTube by regulating the addictive nature of the site, such as infinite scrolling. We don’t want to completely remove YouTube from the user’s life since it is still extremely valuable for learning.
Define the boundaries of your project. What will your project do and what will it not do.
It is a browser extension, built using Chrome API, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Whenever Chrome extensions are supported, this project will work. As far as my knowledge goes, Safari is not compatible.
What should be true after this project is implemented?
