[Feature request] Option to have a focus mode active by default #2

I love the extension, but I find myself wishing I could set a focus mode as the default.

Right now: I access YouTube, and, when I remember (sometimes I get hypnotized by the recommendations), I enable a focus mode. Desired behavior: I access YouTube, and a focus mode is active by default. If I want to see the recommendations, I disable the focus mode.

Would it be possible to add such an option?

Hello Dani! thanks for your feature request. i am updating the add on so it can remember what mode you previously choose. Does it looks ok??

i feel unconfortable making the focus default because i want the user to see how simple is to swith betwwen modes.... what do you think About it?

Hi. That's a wonderful idea.

Idea: Consider visually indicating when a mode is enabled (maybe with a different shade of its color). So there'd be 3 visual states for the 3 buttons: unselected, hover, and selected.

Here's how it might work:

When you install the plug-in, in the menu, you are visually shown that the Default mode is active and the other 2 are disabled.
When you choose Focus or Brain in the menu, it is visually shown as enabled and Default is now shown as disabled.
Focus or Brain remain permanently enabled until you disable it by selecting the other mode, or by selecting Default.
