## Description

mediaBlock is a powerful Chrome extension designed to create a distraction-free online environment by blocking various media forms. It offers three main features: blocking all images to eliminate distracting visuals, filtering out text containing user-defined unwanted keywords, and blocking entire websites known to consume excessive time. Unlike typical content blockers, mediaBlock aims to help users gradually reduce reliance on distracting media and social platforms, enabling them to reclaim hundreds of free hours.

Developed initially for personal use by Alexandre Leonetti, mediaBlock transforms the internet experience into a more book-like, focused space. Users can customize keyword and website blocklists to fit their individual needs. Future versions promise even more enhancements. Experience the benefit of focused browsing and increased productivity by trying mediaBlock for one or two weeks.
