Summary

Spotlight allows you to focus on what matters by wiping out distractions. Hone in on images, news articles, and anything else that's usually surrounded by distracting ads and page elements. Use Spotlight to draw a box around the part of the page you want to keep lit up, then fade out the rest. You can choose between tinting the rest of the page and making it completely dark. You'll find that online learning, studying, and reading are a lot easier when you can just wipe distractions right off the page.

Using Spotlight

Click on the icon. Click once on the webpage and drag the dotted rectangle outward over the part of the page you want to focus on. The rest of the page will go dark.

Once the spotlight is set, click on the icon again to bring up the menu and adjust the shadow's opacity. To clear the spotlight, just click anywhere on the shaded part of the screen. If the menu is open, you will have to click twice.
