* = The website viewpure.com removes the suggested videos down the side of the video you are watching on youtube.com. I include both options because a friend’s school district has blocked viewpure.com. He has to use full screen to get rid of the ads and suggested videos down the side that can be a distraction and sometimes full screen results in a loss of quality.
