Minimal for YouTube by Karib

YouTube is built to keep you scrolling. This extension takes that part away and leaves the useful one.

• The home page opens Subscriptions instead of the recommendation feed. The header takes the full screen, so nothing grabs you before you decide what to watch.
• Shorts are hidden everywhere — in subscriptions, search results, on channels and in the channel tab. One switch brings them back.
• The watch page is clean: no related-videos column, no ad panel. Without a playlist the player takes the full width.
• Theme switch — device, light or dark — applied through YouTube's own setting, so it survives reloads.
• A focus timer that keeps counting with the popup closed and tells you when the time is up.

No accounts, no tracking, no remote code. Settings are stored locally and never leave your browser. Source code: https://github.com/KARIB9/minimal-for-youtube
