BetterFeed 作者： ibn-5100-tan

Control your content. Kill doomscrolling.

BetterFeed replaces YouTube's algorithmic, infinite homepage with a small, static home page that only changes when YOU decide. You see the same set of videos until your scheduled refresh — so you can still discover new videos, without the bottomless scroll designed to keep you watching.

HOW IT WORKS

Pick a refresh schedule — weekly, certain days of the week, or daily. At refresh time, BetterFeed quietly fetches a fresh set of recommendations and pins them as your new home page. Until the next refresh, your home page never changes: no infinite feed, no rabbit holes, no "just one more scroll."

THREE MODES

• Watch — your static home page, with your daily limit enforced.
• Work — search-only YouTube. Every grid, recommendation, and sidebar distraction is hidden so you can look something up and get out.
• Listen — coming soon: a music mode with no daily limit.

Switch anytime from the mode button in YouTube's masthead.

DAILY WATCH LIMIT

Cap your watching by number of videos, total watch time, or both. When you hit the limit, BetterFeed shows a "see you tomorrow" screen — with the option to grab a few more minutes or finish the video you're on. Your progress syncs across devices, so the limit can't be dodged by switching computers.

FRICTION WHERE IT HELPS

• Work session lock — commit to a work session; bailing out early means typing a long unlock code. The friction is the feature.
• Watching lock — once you've started watching for the day, the refresh and daily-limit settings lock behind the same challenge, so you can't impulsively raise your limit mid-binge.

DISTRACTION CLEANUP

Hide Shorts, watch-page recommendations, end-screen cards, autoplay, live chat, the side panel, comments, the notification bell, mix/radio playlists, Explore/Trending, voice search, the Create button, and more — each one a simple toggle.

MORE

• Hide any video or channel from future home pages.
• Resume bars on your home page cards — pick up where you left off.
• Settings, your home page, hidden items, watched videos, and progress sync across your devices.
• Works without an account and never leaves YouTube: the extension only ever talks to youtube.com.
