Über diese Erweiterung

Viking Focus (formerly MindShield) is a browser extension we built to help ourselves be less distracted online.

It lets you hide distracting elements on any website, with pre-configured options for YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Google Search, and WhatsApp Web. For example, on YouTube you might want to hide recommended videos, on Facebook you might hide the newsfeed and ads in the sidebar, and on Google Search you might want to hide or highligt ads.

You have full control over what is hidden. Simply click the extension icon in the browser toolbar to select elements to hide, and save your preferred settings. To help hold yourself accountable, you can also add a delay time to change the settings.

Everywhere you go on the internet, something tries to grab your attention. This extension gives you back control. Enjoy!

Versionshinweise für 4.0

Hi folks,

this update introduces site-specific accountability features. What does that mean? Well it means that you can e.g. add delay to change settings on YouTube.com, without adding delay to change settings on google.com.

NEW ACCOUNTABILITY FEATURES

Site-specific accountability

The settings for delay or auto-saving settings are now site-specific, so your settings for e.g. YouTube.com can be different from google.com.

Makes it possible to show/hide features without it becoming the default

By default, the extension automatically saves your settings when you change them.
However, you might want to temporarily show e.g. recommended videos on YouTube without that becoming your new default.

This is now possible: In settings you can now disable auto-saving of settings. If you do, you will need to explicitly click 'Save settings' before settings are saved.

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS & BUG FIXES
- YouTube: auto-playing previews are now (finally!) automatically disabled if you hide recommended videos
- LinkedIn: hiding the feed now (finally) only hides it on the landing page
- Settings popup: added a 'close' button to the settings popup for more intuitive navigation
- On/off switches: these have been removed as they serve little purpose in practice
- Nicer styling of delay timer settings

Cheers,
