Minimal theme for Youtube

I was bored today, so I build this simple Chrome extension that adds minimal theme to youtube to make it boring and less distracting.

The extension uses manifest v3 and works by hiding some elements in the page by injecting custom css

I like the extension! It saves me a lot of time and mental energy, since I do not get lost in surfing through the recommendation bar as much as before.

Any idea whether or not it is compatible if used along with the Adguard Adblocker extension?

I do use this with Ublock origin. It should work with other add blockers too.

Thanks. I might try it out. I was wondering how well multiple extensions that locally alter source of a page can work together.

It really depends on how they are modifying the page and how specific the selectors are. Since this extension uses id selector it is fine. But if you use nth-selector then there might be breakages.
