Extension summary

SOFOCUS is a way to clear out the visual noise often experienced when visting stack overflow. Many times I find myself googling a programming question only to find myself on a page about "My girlfriend cannot stop farting at social events - what should I do?" a few clicks later. This is largely due to the massive list of questions to the right which distract my attention.

I can't control myself so, of course, I made an extension to do it for me. It's pretty hacky but it works.
