This Safari extension is designed to help users manage their online distractions by allowing them to selectively hide certain elements on popular websites. Recognizing that sites like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram can be both engaging and distractive, the extension offers a way to customize the browsing experience without completely blocking access to these sites. This approach helps users focus on the content they find valuable while minimizing unnecessary interruptions.
With this extension, users can choose to hide specific components on each supported website. For example, on YouTube, users can conceal recommended videos, shorts, comments, and other clutter that often distract viewers. On social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, they have the option to hide feeds, reels, stories, and additional elements. This selective hiding empowers users to tailor their browsing environment according to their preferences, encouraging a more focused and less overwhelming experience.
Beyond content customization, SocialFocus provides several additional features to enhance user experience. These include options for managing startup settings, importing and exporting configurations, and other customizable functions. Such features allow users to quickly set up their preferred hiding configurations and have consistent experiences across devices or sessions, making the extension more versatile and user-friendly.
For users interested in unlocking more advanced capabilities, there is a PRO version available through a subscription. The PRO version includes extra features such as configurable hotkeys, synchronization of settings across devices, and other enhancements that are not included in the standard version. It is important to note that this extension works exclusively in the Safari browser and is designed solely for websites—not for the apps themselves. Users can review the terms of use on the official website for further details.
