Features & Capabilities

Digital Habits Focus (formerly ReDD Focus, Viking Focus & MindShield) is an open-source browser extension we built to help ourselves be less distracted online.

It primarily lets you hide distracting elements on any website, with pre-configured options for a number of sites, including YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram. For example, on YouTube you might want to hide recommended videos, on Facebook you might hide the newsfeed, and on Google Search you might want to hide AI summaries.

You have full control over what is hidden. Simply click the extension icon in the browser toolbar to select elements to hide, and save your preferred settings. To help hold yourself accountable, you can also add a delay time to change the settings.

Digital Habits: Focus also lets you turn any website greyscale to reduce its allure, delay access to chosen websites by a customisable amount of time, and establish redirect rules from a website to somewhere else - all to help keep your online use intentional.

Enjoy!

Is Digital Habits: Focus - Hide Distractions 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.

Digital Habits: Focus - Hide Distractions requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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.

Digital Habits: Focus - Hide Distractions is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
