Stay focused & improve productivity. Easily block any distracting and unproductive video searches. Stop procrastination!

Youtube is a learning and productivity tool. It's drastic to block Youtube just because it's easy to get distracted and watch unproductive videos while you are using it to learn something for work or school. Block unproductive video searches instead

Example, you are watching a tutorial on Youtube, and before you have even finished watching the video, you might be searching Youtube for funny cat videos instinctively! This extension will block that unproductive search and will only allow searches that contain the words or phrases you allowed.

Stay focused & improve productivity. Easily block any distracting and unproductive videos. Stop procrastination once and for all!

Great on paper. It allows for blocking search and being good about it. The problem is that it also blocks your home, subscriptions and side bar menu. Allow me to see my subscriptions and this will turn into a five-star review.
