Extension summary

Sometimes you just need to hide a tab. This neat little extension will veil your screen in black without changing the page too much. Very useful for apps that share media and audio where you don't want the screen to give away the video. Say for instance a pub quiz you have organised?

User reviews

Does its job neatly. Good if you want to focus while keeping Chrome open in front of you all the time.

Decenttttttt it blacks everything out but the only problem is you can still see the search bar. Otherwise changing the website name and blacking out the majority of the screen I really like it,
