Focus Mode - Anti Doomscroll Autor: Noodler

Features
Global & Utility

Master switch — disable/enable every rule at once without losing individual settings.
Focus Timer / Schedule — auto-enable focus rules during set hours/days.
Pomodoro timer — start a session from the popup; rules stay on for its duration regardless of the master switch.
Strict Mode — adds a configurable delay or a typed motivation phrase before any protection can be turned off (including Strict Mode itself).
Daily Time Budget — cap daily minutes per site; the tab is blocked once the budget's spent.
Scroll-Count Interrupts — an 8-second "are you finding value in this?" pause after N screens of scrolling.
Grayscale & simplified fonts — strip color and polish from feeds.
Intent Sticky Bar — ask what you're here for before browsing YouTube/Reddit/etc., then pin the answer at the top of the page.
Direct-link handling — links shared from chats aren't treated the same as feed browsing.
Custom Domain & Element Blocker — a click-to-hide picker for any element on any site, uBlock-style.
Import / Export — back up or transfer your settings as JSON.
Firefox Sync — mirror your settings across devices signed into the same Firefox Account.


Instagram

Block Reels & Explore, force the chronological Following feed, hide suggested/sponsored posts, the Stories tray, vanity metrics, and notification badges; cap the feed at N posts behind a manual "Show more"; optional smart-redirect straight to the inbox.
YouTube

Block Shorts (or rewrite them to standard video links), disable autoplay, hide the notification badge, vanity metrics/dates, Trending & Live tabs, related videos, and end-screen recommendations; blank/search-only homepage; per-channel whitelist to exempt educational channels from focus rules; optional smart-redirect straight to Subscriptions.
Twitter / X

Following-only feed, hidden metrics (likes/retweets/replies/views), hidden sidebar widgets (Trends, Who to follow, Premium upsells), hidden notification badges, optional smart-redirect straight to Messages.
Reddit

Block r/all and r/popular, blank the home feed (search & direct subreddit links still work), block the immersive video/shorts feed.

Blank the news feed (Jobs, Messaging & Search stay active), hide the "LinkedIn News" sidebar module.
How to Load in Firefox

Open Firefox and navigate to about:debugging.
Click This Firefox in the left sidebar.
Click Load Temporary Add-on….
Navigate into your focus-mode-extension/ folder and select manifest.json.
Click the toolbar icon for quick controls (master switch, Pomodoro, element picker), or click Open full settings for everything else.


(Note: Temporary add-ons reset when Firefox restarts.)
Notes on how a few features work

Daily budgets are tracked by a background alarm that samples the currently-focused, active tab once a minute — so budgets track actual attention, not just an open tab sitting in the background.
The element picker uses the activeTab permission for the tab you invoke it from. For domains outside the five built-in platforms, picking an element requests a one-time, domain-scoped host permission so the rule can keep applying on future visits to that same site.
Strict Mode guards every toggle on the settings page, including its own — turning it off requires the same delay/phrase challenge as anything else, closing the obvious "just disable Strict Mode first" loophole.
