Extension Usage Instructions

                        This Chrome extension by default will remove the comment section and related video section whenever you are watching a video.

This helps users not get distracted by participating in pointless conversation or getting fooled by click bait videos.

Known bugs:
-If you navigate to a video from within the youtube website the filter will not kick in. It will only work if you navigate straight to the video from a different website/link.

Change Log:
September 4th 2017:
-Youtube recently had an update, changed fields names that are targeted to be filtered to keep up with these changes.

August 5th 2019
-Fixed bug where related videos wouldn't hide.
