YouTube, minus whatever you don't want.

Most focus extensions hide everything or nothing. Zena gives every distraction its own switch homepage recommendations, the sidebar, Shorts, comments, autoplay, so the feed you get is the one you chose.

One switch per distraction

Every hide-rule works on its own, so nothing you didn't ask for disappears. Keep the homepage clean but leave comments alone. Kill the sidebar but keep Shorts. It's your feed to edit, one toggle at a time.
