How does YouTube Distraction Free remove the distractions?
YouTube Distraction Free works on two main layers. The first layer is your network layer. Basically the add-on installs a monitoring agent on your network and filters out all the requests generated from a YouTube page. Using an optimized filtering list, only those resources that are necessary for the page to perform are getting approved and the rest are silently ignored. The second layer is the visual layer where elements that might distract users are either removed or being hide from the UI. YouTube Distraction Free add-on injects a minimal optimized CSS into YouTube pages for the layer to either hide or delete unnecessary elements.
