Just saw this one yesterday on lemmy:
Removes clickbait thumbnails from YouTube and just pulls one from somewhere within the video.
Same creator as Sponsorblock, another must have for YouTube. Skips portions of the video that are basically spam, configurable to skip various parts.
And of course ublock origin for ad blocking, which also removes advertising in YouTube videos, at least for now.
Unhook and remove YouTube shorts extentions have saved me probably days go time by now. Absolutely recommend trying them out.
Recently found Whoogle and have been enjoying it a lot. I've got it on an Ubuntu server, but it looks like there are public instances too. It's a more focused, ad free, search. In the settings you can redirect to privacy focused alternatives like Libreddit as well.
I'm going to have to try Unhook, YouTube distractions are one of my biggest.
The one I use is called LeechBlock, I can set block lists, time of use per unit of time (day, hour, etc), block times on specific days, I can even set it to lock me out of the settings during specific times so I can't easily change things when I'm block out of distractions.
It's on Firefox and Chrome, maybe others but I'm not sure.
Of course it can get really annoying but that's the point really, bother me enough to break the cycle of endlessly clicking the day away.
Has it helped you made grass-to-hand contact?
When configured properly it's helped me step back from my computer and get things done.
I'd say the biggest thing it helps with is giving me a sense of time when on the usual distraction websites.
I've gotten more stuff done with LeechBlock than without that's for sure.
