Even if I quickly go fullscreen, there's enough time to be enticed by the algorithmically-addictive video on the side menu.

What browser magic can I most simply implement to hide the side menu?

https://piped.video/ is a good one, you can even import your subscriptions. Voila!

Wow, a lot of suggestions!

This tiny extension seems to be what I was looking for: https://unhook.app/

found out that other nice and specific add-on is not only not Foss, but has a super weird Eula 😢

So I'm gonna try ublock tool, and I think your write up is lovely!
