ReDD Focus: Hide Distractions door The Reduce Digital Distraction Project

ReDD Focus (formerly Viking Focus and MindShield) is an open-source browser extension we built to help ourselves be less distracted online.

It lets you hide distracting elements on any website, with one-click options for YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Google Search, and WhatsApp Web. For example, on YouTube you might want to hide recommended videos, on Facebook you might hide the newsfeed and ads in the sidebar, and on Google Search you might want to hide or highligt ads.

You have full control over what is hidden. Simply click the extension icon in the browser toolbar to select elements to hide, and save your preferred settings. To help hold yourself accountable, you can also add a delay time to change the settings.

Enjoy!
