User reviews
Thanks for releasing this helpful tool! The extension is useful to bring me back to the text block that I was reading before a distraction. However, I do find some room for improvement:
1. Support for customizable area size. Currently the highlighted area is always fixed and cannot be adjusted.
2. Support for switching on and off in Chrome PDF reader. Currently I cannot turn off the extension easily once it has been enabled in a webpage. There seems to have some bugs when the extension is used in Chrome's PDF reader.
3. Support for pinning the area position. Currently the area always moves along with the cursor. I find it sometimes more useful to fix the position of the highlighting area and instead scroll the screen.

It works! I like how the Focus Window extension only shows about an inch (or a rulers width) of the page at a time. It basically dims the rest of the screen and keeps about an inch of it visible in full brightness. It's actually kind of a great alternative to night mode as well. Often i find i like to browse the web at full brightness to see all the colours, but sometimes i just want to look at one area of the screen. . . May be a great alternative to the night mode for me if im working late or don't want to disturb my partner while they sleep.

AWESOME! Finally something to help me read easier. Wish it allowed for a smaller window though, this is still a little larger than I'd like.
