User Reviews
Disclaimer: I've worked on Focused Browsing, but I was one of the target personas, and I'm super proud of the team for creating such a polished product.
I've been using News Feed Eradicator for the past few years, and I was on the lookout for a product that gave me more options in controlling my feedless experience. Focused Browing's keyboard shortcut is its most valuable feature, and I recommend users of NFE to try out the experience of focusing/unfocusing without leaving their tab as you have to in NFE.
I look forward to seeing how the product evolves, and I'm grateful to be a part of the team that gets to shape it.

Is Focused Browsing 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.
Focused Browsing requires a lot of sensitive permissions. 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.
Focused Browsing has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
