Awesome Awesome Awesome!!! This is exactly what I was looking for! I often lose large amounts of time in YouTube, and I while I have blacklisted it before I constantly have to go back for school related purposes.
I've tried blocking elements with U-Block with little success...
Then I found this Add-On! It is customizable and blocks all elements that you could want blocked, and is easy enough to toggle on and off. It's working great!

    I have been using DF-Tube for years and it's an essential part of my browser now. But lately because of Youtube's actions against ad-blockers, having DF-Tube enabled is causing it to be considered an ad-blocker, and thus Youtube becomes unoperational. If this issue could be addressed it'd be extremely helpful.

    sadly need to confirm that this addon triggers YTs adblock detection, but still did a great job at making YT distraction free o7

    !!! Warning !!!
    Installing this extension trigger youtube's anti-adblock detection. (other wise does what it claims)
    I recommend unhook which have the same functionality but does not trigger anti-adblock

    Hi RickyV, I love this app, can you make the same for facebook, instagram, and reddit? Just to block the newsfeed for starters because that is the addiction mechanism for these platforms. If you can package them in 1 add-on, better! I can't find a way to contact you directly, hopefully you get to read this message.

    Thank you for saving my brain from compulsive internet browsing, breaking the habit of mindless scrolling, and getting distracted on YT.
    This extension genuinely gave me back hours of my life and helped me break years of bad internet habits. Thank you for making something that respects the human brain instead of exploiting it. You’re a hero. 🙌

    Been making me sane on Youtube for years. I just toggle the Activate after turning on a video since it does trigger the Ad-Block BS of Youtube

    But otherwise it makes my life and brain Sane while on Youtube so keeping 5 Star Rating

    It's currently not working because it's detected by youtube as if it were an adblocker, despite the fact that it did work this afternoon. I hope it will get fixed as soon as possible.

    edit 20/7/2025: it seems the problem is fixed now. It's a great addon, so useful to cut off distraction.

    As two other users mentioned, DF YouTube triggers Ad Block detection by YouTube algorithm. A pity, hoping it will get fixed

    I can confirm that, unfortunately, this extension just recently started triggering YouTube anti-adblocker banner. Until it is fixed I'm forced to disable this extension and rate it at 1 star. Looking forward for the fix because I've been enjoying this extension for many years!

    used to work flawlessly, but suddenly started getting blocked by youtube. i figured it wasn't ublock, so i disabled all extensions except for this one, and i confirmed that this was the source of the problem. a true shame because i loved this extension
