YouTube Minimal / Video Only by Wilhelm

YouTube Minimal / Video Only gives you precise control over which parts of YouTube remain visible.

Instead of replacing YouTube with a completely different interface, the extension keeps the normal player and lets you selectively remove distracting or unnecessary elements.

You can create anything from a slightly cleaner YouTube experience to a true Video Only Mode, where the page is reduced almost entirely to the video player.
