Features & Capabilities

Focus Arrow is a simple and elegant productivity add-on that blocks distracting websites to protect yourself from losing focus. Just add the URLs you want to block and that's it!

Why using a distracting site blocker? We spend a lot of our time in front of screens (really, look it up online), so it is easy to get distracted without being productive with the so many things that the Internet has to offer us. Many try to stop this unproductive habit based on willpower alone, but that might not be enough. With a distracting site blocker, you are taking a decision in advance to help your own self spend less time getting distracted and more time doing what matters to you.

Key features of using Focus Arrow

  • Simple interface: Focus Arrow has a simple-to-use interface that focuses on preventing too many elements from cluttering your screen.
  • Customizable redirection page: Want to set your own redirection page instead of having the default one? It is as simple as just going to the configuration and setting the URL you want to be redirected to.
  • Totally free: All of Focus Arrow's features are free.
  • Advanced matching: Do you have a complex use-case? Instead of inputting a URL, you can input RegEx surrounded by slashes ("/") for more complex matching patterns. ProTip: Don't know use RegEx? Go to your favorite GenAI website and ask it to craft a RegEx for you.
  • Unlimited sites: You can have as many blocked pages as you want. The only restriction is the storage space itself.

Likely coming soon!

  • Topic filters: do you want to block, say, all games but do not want to type each address manually? I'm looking into implementing a database with the most popular distracting websites for different categories (e.g. social media, videogames) so that you can block all of them with a single click of a switch.
  • Multiple language support: I expect to add support for Spanish, French and Japanese soon in the future.
  • And much more! If you particularly like some of these ideas or have a different one to make Focus Arrow better, please leave a review or contact me. I'm really pleased to listen to Focus Arrow users' opinions to make the add-on better.

Is Focus Arrow 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.

Focus Arrow requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious.

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.
