drift-focus Firefox

drift-focus

Quietly protects your attention with gentle friction on trap sites. No lectures. No guilt. Just a little resistance between you and the algorithm.

Features & Capabilities

Drift quietly protects your attention with gentle friction on trap sites — no lectures, no guilt, no hard blocks (unless you want them).

Choose from 5 modes per site: silently slow the page load, ask what you came for, hard block outside allowed hours, redirect to somewhere useful, or close the tab.

Built on behavioral science — even 3 seconds of friction breaks the autopilot loop before the algorithm takes over.

Features:

  • Delay Load: page loads silently slower. Pure friction, no UI.
  • Ask Menu: "What are you here for?" — type your reason, a draggable reminder stays on the page.
  • Schedule system: set allowed hours per site, friction scales up outside them.
  • Redirect library: build your own list of go-to destinations, import/export as JSON.
  • Stats: see how often Drift has intervened this week.
  • Pause for 15 minutes when you genuinely need a site.

Your data never leaves your browser. No accounts, no analytics, no telemetry.

Is drift-focus Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

drift-focus requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

drift-focus is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
