SocialFocus: Hide Distractions
SocialFocus: Hide Distractions is a Safari extension designed to help users control their time spent on popular social media and communication platforms. Developed by Yevhen Tretiakov, this extension allows users to selectively hide distracting elements on websites such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
We all know how addictive and time-consuming these platforms can be, but completely blocking them is not always a practical solution. SocialFocus offers a more flexible approach by enabling users to hide specific sections and features on each website.
For Facebook, users can choose to hide the home feed, stories, people you may know section, reels and short videos, friends button, watch button, groups button, marketplace button, and notifications button. Similarly, on Instagram, users can hide the feed, stories, search button, explore button, reels button, and notifications button.
YouTube users can hide recommended videos on the home page, sidebar on video pages, related videos on video pages, shorts, comments, explore section, subscriptions, and video endscreen. Reddit users can hide the feed and comments, while Twitter users can hide the home timeline, explore button, notifications button, trends for you section, and who to follow section.
LinkedIn users can hide the home feed, messaging popup, post metrics, post comments, and notifications button. It's important to note that this extension only works on websites while using the Safari browser and not on mobile apps.
SocialFocus: Hide Distractions is a useful tool for individuals who want to minimize distractions and regain control of their time spent on social media. By selectively hiding specific elements, users can focus on the content that matters to them without getting lost in endless scrolling and unrelated features.
