Much like the rest of the world, we've been homeschooling our kids. And during this time, YouTube has been somewhat of a distraction (i.e., our kids have been watching it instead of paying attention during class).
From what I can tell, there's no great way to deal with this problem. We can't block YouTube outright, because some of their teachers use it for class. So, instead, I created this Chrome extension.
Here's how it works:
• Try to visit youtube.com directly, and you'll see a message saying "Sorry, you can't watch YouTube right now."
• Try to visit a YouTube link from Google search results, and you'll see the same message.
• Click on a link from the teacher (or a direct link) and you'll see the video but nothing else (i.e., all of YouTube's search bars and recommended videos will be hidden).
Note: I understand that it's easy for kids to get around this, but thankfully my kids don't know how. If you can think of a way to improve this plugin, please contribute!
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
