Review Summary
Users appreciate YouTube Focus Mode for its ability to reduce distractions by filtering video categories and removing sidebar recommendations, which helps save time and improve focus. However, common issues include incomplete removal of recommendations on the home feed, the inability to password protect or lock the extension, lack of sidebar toggle options, and occasional reports of the extension not working. Users also desire more granular category filtering and features like auto-enabling the extension and mobile browser support.
