I finally figured out how to kill all unnecessary distractions on youtube. You will still be able to browse videos on youtube channels and watch any video after applying my tips. It is a pure video experience without distractions including advertisements.

• Install uBlock Origin
• uBlock Origin options > My filters
  • Hide all videos on youtube home page.

• Hide a grid of suggested videos shown at the end of every video
  • uBlock Origin options > Filter lists > Custom
  • Check `Import`

  • Click `Apply Changes`
• Install `YouTube™ No Buffer (Stop Auto-playing)` (It stops autoplay of channel trailer. It also stops autoplay of every video.)

@John Lula You can apply my post to firefox on android. But, youtube is awkward on firefox on android. I just watch youtube on desktop computer.
