About
Lucent is a lightweight YouTube focus mode and Auto HD/4K utility that hides/blocks YouTube Shorts and other distractions — digital minimalism with high-quality playback.
Choose what stays and remove the distractions:
• Hide Shorts
• Hide homepage recommendations
• Hide the related videos sidebar
• Hide end screen suggestions and info cards
• Hide comments, likes, and subscriber counts
• Minimise live chat
• Blur thumbnails (you can reveal them on hover)
No more endless suggestions.
Control video playback:
• Lock your preferred video quality (up to 4K)
• Set a default playback speed
• Pause videos automatically when opened in a new tab
• Stop autoplay on channel homepages
Set it once, simple and works smoothly with YouTube’s dynamic navigation
Open-source and privacy-focused — No tracking. No analytics. No external servers. All settings are stored locally in your browser.
