Music Mode for YouTube™ tekijä Thunderarea

Reduce distractions and hide NSFW content on YouTube with Music Mode for YouTube™, perfect for uninterrupted music listening.

A browser extension that hides the video and thumbnails on YouTube, YouTube Music and embedded YouTube videos in third-party sites. The extension used to block the video and play only the audio, but due to recent YouTube changes, it now only blocks videos on YouTube Music, while on YouTube, videos are just hidden.

FEATURES (ALL OPTIONAL):
1. Hides the video on YouTube and blocks the video, playing only the audio on YouTube Music
2. Hides the video thumbnails
3. Hides the images of channel/user avatars
4. Hides various other images
5. Skips the ads before they play
6. Allows background play (on YouTube for mobiles)

Separate options for YouTube, YouTube Music, and YouTube videos embedded in other sites. You can enable/disable the extension for all tabs or for specific tabs.

Extra options:
1. Hides the thumbnails and various other images in Google search when you search for a song or a singer
2. Quick access buttons: two extra buttons on YouTube in order to hide the thumbnails and the video quickly without using the popup window

Notes:
- If you have enabled the features 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 the images are not only hidden but also blocked saving more bandwidth
