Less Addictive YouTube – a cross-browser plugin

In plain words

Less Addictive YouTube is a cross-browser plugin that modifies the YouTube experience to reduce compulsive usage.

The tool is intended for users who want to maintain more control over their viewing habits while still accessing YouTube content. It's available as open-source software on GitHub.
