Watch YouTube Videos Without Any Distractions

YouTube tends to load slower because of the distractions around it like the comments, and related videos; I call it distractions because it’s distracting me whenever I’m watching a video. On my previous post, I’ve showed you how to activate “Turn off the Lights” feature in YouTube that fades to dark the entire page while you are watching a YouTube video as if you are in the cinema. This feature helps you focus on the video so you won’t be distracted by other elements.

It’s really nice to watch YouTube videos just by seeing the video itself alone without any distracting elements. Actually, there are a lot of ways to do this and I will show you how.

Check out these bookmarklets that let you watch YouTube videos without any distractions:
