Supports YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook Reels, and LinkedIn feed controls. Installation Features Configuration Project Impact Technical Highlights Privacy --- FocusTube is an open-source browser extension built and maintained to help users reduce doomscrolling and stay focused. It blocks or hides distracting areas on supported platforms while keeping all settings and usage data local to the browser. The project supports Chromium browsers with a Manifest V3 build and Firefox with a separate compatibility manifest. Features Blocking Modes - Strict Mode: Blocks distracting surfaces by redirecting or showing a blocking overlay. - Warn Mode: Shows an interstitial before access where supported. - Passive Mode: Allows normal browsing while visual hiding controls can still reduce distracting entry points. Supported Surfaces - YouTube: Blocks Shorts URLs and can hide Shorts navigation/shelves plus the English \"Most relevant\" shelf on the Subscriptions page. - Instagram: Blocks Reels/Explore paths and can hide Reels navigation and Stories. - TikTok: Blocks common feed/video surfaces while allowing safer areas such as messages and settings. - Facebook: Blocks Reels paths and can hide Reels navigation, Stories, and People You Might Know suggestions. - LinkedIn: Can hide the main feed and \"Add to your feed\" sidebar card.
