This very important add-on will help you get recommended YouTube videos based on your interests.
The platform par excellence for watching content of all kinds and completely free of charge is YouTube. It contains hundreds of millions of videos containing all kinds of entertaining and useful content. The problem lies in the random recommendations, which can go beyond what we are looking for, but the Chrome extension, YouTube Ultra Focus Mode, solves this problem.
On YouTube, next to each video, there is a column with a set of recommendations. These recommendations are based on other content we have seen and also on videos that the platform is interested in promoting.
Often times it is a very strange mix of different types of videos and of course that can be a distraction. If you don’t want to be shown anything, you can opt for this extension for Chrome browsers. What it does, simply put, is show videos only based on the keywords we give it.
YouTube Ultra Focus Mode is a Chrome browser extension that can also be used on Microsoft Edge browser.
This extension personalizes video recommendations based on the keywords we create. It avoids the distraction that the recommended column usually generates. This way, we will only be shown videos that match our interests.
Using this extension is very simple, as it is designed to be easy to use. The first thing is to install it. After installation, the next step is to select the keywords we want to use as a filter on YouTube. To do this, simply click on the extension icon in the browser toolbar. After that, enter all the words that interest us and that we want to use as a filter.
As always, we can add or remove terms at any time. This allows us to have an experience that is more tailored to our needs as our interests change. It gives us a great deal of flexibility and control, as well as being easy to work with.
It allows us to solve a "bug" on YouTube, which usually recommends videos that have nothing to do with the topic we are watching. You will usually see recommendations based on other videos you have watched in the left column. If you play a lot of music, it will show you many based on your recent plays and tastes.
If we are interested in content related to gardening, we can ask the extension to show us only content of this style. If we only want humor videos, we can set this and other similar criteria. We can also set filters to show us only science videos, in case we are interested in this content.
