[Feature request] A Chrome extension #1

Would you consider making a Chrome extension as well? I find the idea of only showing three suggested videos quite unique and genius.

Most other browser extensions dedicated to make YouTube distraction-free only let us either show all suggested videos or remove all suggested videos, with no middle-ground. The concept of middle-ground is quite good, especially for people who don't want to be distracted by recommendation flood but also would not like to go to the extreme of removing them all.

That being said, if you don't use Chrome much and feel reluctant to implement an extension not heavily used by yourself, I would understand and we could close this issue.

Hello MappleCCC! Thank you very much for the complements and your interest. I will code a chrome extension as well as soon as possible. The process is almost the same, but I was avoiding a payment tax that chrome requires from devs.

Thank you for the kind reply!

Yeah, I forgot about the Google dev tax thing. But we don't necessarily have to publish on the Chrome Extension Store though. In the topic page about Chrome extension, we could find that some super popular extensions' developers refrain from publishing on Chrome Extension Store, and instead prompt users to install the extension through developer mode, following the instructions presented in their README documents. Such as bypass-paywalls-chrome, medium-unlimited, and Spotify-Lyrics.
