Is there a way to listen to YouTube videos without having the video playing?
I work on a computer, and I usually listen to music while working. In the last couple of years I find myself using YouTube as almost the only source of music. However, the type of music that I like (techno, trance, house, etc) poses a problem that anyone who has ever listened to such music mixes on YouTube will understand – the videos of these mixes are basically a slideshow of a really really (really) hot babes. And while I do appreciate the pictures, it's a problem having these pics appear on the screen in the office.
As much as I try not to have this page on the screen, sometimes I need to pause the video, change it, etc.

Try Chrome extension: Stylebot
You can install CSS styling from lots of other users who have submitted the styling or you can just make your own.
To remove video content. You just need to use selector tool to select video element and mark height = 0.
Good thing with this extension that you can use it to style any website to remove distractions. Whenever you want to remove styling you can reset it.
