[Feature request] Option to have a focus mode active by default

[danitrusca]

I love the extension, but I find myself wishing I could set a focus mode as the default.

Right now: I access YouTube, and, when I remember (sometimes I get hypnotized by the recommendations), I enable a focus mode.
Desired behavior: I access YouTube, and a focus mode is active by default. If I want to see the recommendations, I disable the focus mode.

Would it be possible to add such an option?

Hello Dani! thanks for your feature request. i am updating the add on so it can remember what mode you previously choose.
Does it looks ok??

i feel unconfortable making the focus default because i want the user to see how simple is to swith betwwen modes....
what do you think About it?

Hi. That's a wonderful idea.

Idea: Consider visually indicating when a mode is enabled (maybe with a different shade of its color). So there'd be 3 visual states for the 3 buttons: unselected, hover, and selected.

Here's how it might work:

• When you install the plug-in, in the menu, you are visually shown that the Default mode is active and the other 2 are disabled.
• When you choose Focus or Brain in the menu, it is visually shown as enabled and Default is now shown as disabled.
• Focus or Brain remain permanently enabled until you disable it by selecting the other mode, or by selecting Default.

Thank you!
