ZeroDistraction Firefox

ZeroDistraction

A firefox extension that blocks distracting websites to stay focused when you need it most.

Features & Capabilities

Why ZeroDistraction? You sit down to work on something important. You open your browser and tell yourself "just one quick check" on HackerNews or YouTube. Three hours later, you're still scrolling, and that important task remains untouched. We've all been there. The internet is designed to capture and hold your attention.

ZeroDistraction puts you back in control! When you need to focus, activate it for a set time period. Try to visit a distracting site, and instead of endless feeds, you see a simple timer counting down. It's about creating intentional breaks from distraction when you need to get things done.

How does it work?

  • Set a focus timer for your desired duration
  • Distracting websites are automatically blocked during the timer
  • Ships with categorized presets (social media, news, entertainment) to block
  • Blocked sites show a simple countdown instead of their content
  • Configure an allowlist of URLs that remain accessible even during focus sessions
  • Timer runs in the background - no need to keep the extension popup open

Is ZeroDistraction 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.

ZeroDistraction 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.

ZeroDistraction is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
