01 / A different way to watch

You opened YouTube
for a reason.

Intentionally keeps that reason in view, from the moment you arrive to the moment a video ends.

01

Before you watch

Name a video, channel, or topic. Your search begins before the feed can choose for you.

02

While you watch

The video plays. Recommendations, Shorts, and autoplay step aside.

03

When it ends

The question returns. Choose another thing to watch, or close the tab.

Intentionally for YouTube

A pause before play

What did you come here to watch?

A video, channel, or topic

Pause. Name it. Then watch it.

02 / Good to know

A little less YouTube.
A lot more choice.

Can I still search and watch videos?

Yes. Search results and regular videos work. Intentionally changes what surrounds them.

What happens to Shorts?

Shorts routes and entry points are blocked, and Shorts shelves are hidden where they appear.

Does it track what I watch?

It checks the current YouTube video in your browser to know when to pause. It does not save watch history or send it to us. Your search goes to YouTube when you submit it.

Where does it work?

On YouTube in desktop Chrome. The Chrome Web Store listing is being prepared.
