A minimalist browser for YouTube, removing comments, recommendations and suggested videos to let you focus on your video of choice
Quietube is a web browser extension and app that provides a distraction-free viewing experience for YouTube. It strips away many of the things on YouTube that can draw viewers off course, like comment sections, recommendations, suggested videos, and more. This leaves just the video player itself and some basic playback controls.
The goal of Quietube is to enable more intentional and focused YouTube watching. For those times when you want to zero in on a specific video, tutorial, lecture, or other piece of content without getting drawn into an endless YouTube rabbit hole, Quietube eliminates the distractions from the interface. It's perfect for students, researchers, or anyone else who uses YouTube as an educational resource.
In addition to the distraction-free viewing mode, Quietube also allows you to create playlists and save videos for watching later. There are browser extensions available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. There are also iOS and Android apps. All versions include the stripped-down viewing interface and offline saving capabilities.
Reviews praise Quietube for its simplicity and effectiveness at keeping users on task. For people who find YouTube's unlimited content and recommendations too overwhelming or distracting at times, Quietube provides a pared-down alternative while still enabling access to YouTube's massive library of videos.
