"Block Distracting Elements" feature not working on Youtube

Browser Support Web Compatibility

Youtube now stickies comments under the mobile video player even if you don’t open the comment section, which is annoying to me

I think there was an update on Youtube because now the block Distracting Elements option isn’t working

Also, it would be nice if I could seperately choose to hide the comments and description, since I only want to hide the comments

Brave 1.71.123, Chromium 130.0.6723.116

Uh . . . the only “Distracting Elements” features that I know about, are related to:

  • Chromium extension (possibly at reddit, but I cannot locate it online [blocked access])
  • Some apps listed at MakeUseOf.com website
  • Apple Safari Internet browser Distraction Control

Please edit your Original Post, above, and include your computing device and its Operating System.

And, I am wondering what software you may be using for controling distractions at YouTube . . . I do not (YET) know about any such feature within Brave Browser (except what you might have installed?).

UPDATING

Turns out that there is an application named “Jomo” - for the purpose of making YouTube less distracting - that [app] may be downloaded from Apple’s App Store.

@289wk i thing they are talking about content filtering in Shields settings. For example:

Oh . . . this has turned out to be a day of a lot of discovery (including, something about crash reporting [duh; and thank you]).
