Distraction Blocker helps you take back control of your browsing. Social media platforms are designed to keep you scrolling — endless recommendations, auto-playing shorts, comment sections, and sidebars that pull your attention away from what you actually came to do. With Distraction Blocker, you decide what you see. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT IT DOES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Click the extension icon on any supported site and instantly toggle off the elements that distract you. Changes apply in real time — no page reload needed. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ YOUTUBE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Hide the header / navigation bar • Hide the sidebar (both expanded and mini modes) • Hide video recommendations • Hide the comments section • Hide Shorts ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REDDIT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Hide the header • Hide the left sidebar • Hide the right sidebar ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ KEY FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Per-element control — hide exactly what bothers you, keep what you need • Instant toggle — changes apply live without reloading the page • Settings sync — your preferences sync across all your Chrome devices • Works on dynamic pages — handles content loaded after the page opens • Lightweight — no background processes, no performance impact ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY FIRST ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Distraction Blocker collects zero personal data. It has no analytics, no tracking, and no external servers. Your preferences are stored locally using Chrome's built-in storage. That's it. Permissions used: • storage — to remember your toggle preferences • activeTab — to detect which site you're on when you open the popup ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ OPEN SOURCE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Distraction Blocker is fully open source. You can inspect every line of code on GitHub. No hidden behavior, ever.
