Spinning Blocker [beta] -Block loading motion by GunmaSoft

Create a stress-free, distraction-free environment while pages load.

No registration or login is required.
☆We invite you to install and try it out.

１．How to Use
After installing the extension, open a new standard page or refresh an existing one. Click the "Agree" button on the Terms of Service pop-up to automatically start blocking.

２．Functions and Features
Focused specifically on the loading phase, it removes elements that were previously difficult to target due to their early appearance—such as inefficient spinning circles, auto-playing semi-transparent animations (like text field indicators), and certain progress bars at the top of the screen—across a wide range of websites.

It also supports the loading animations used by many generative AI services.

Loading phase: It effectively blocks animations that appear mid-page (e.g., upon scrolling).
Scope: It does not function on settings pages, extension store pages, browser tabs, or external PDF files.

３．Features
・Simple: The extension's interface uses simple static images; we avoid complex, motion-heavy UI elements as much as possible.

・ON/OFF Toggle: Pin the extension to the top right of your browser to toggle it on or off for specific sites. Changes take effect upon refreshing the page.

・No Ad-Blocking: A clean, simple design. It works even on sites that block ad-blockers or on platforms like YouTube. (*Subject to site structure and terms of service.)

・High Privacy: No external data transmission during normal operation. (Subject to change in the future.)

４． Recommended Use Cases
・Natural: For those seeking a clean, natural web experience.
・When you want to boost your creativity or work efficiently with deep focus.
・For those who had previously given up on efficient computer use—or even working on a computer at all—due to distracting elements; this offers a refined environment where you can browse with peace of mind.
・Creative: Circular elements—such as those "spinner" animations that appear during non-functional wait times—do not suit this aesthetic.
・For those seeking a quiet, calm internet environment, akin to turning off or disabling load-time indicators.
Suitable for users of all ages and backgrounds.

1. Reliable "Made in Japan" Quality / by Gunma Soft
   Update: We are currently improving blocking accuracy.
   The developers use it themselves.
2. Details
   It effectively filters, detects, and removes both animated videos and images that appear during loading times—such as "spinning" loaders. For elements that are difficult to remove entirely, it suppresses icon animations and reduces items that distract the user while waiting for content to load.

Removal: It effectively removes elements that persist on screen for a set time, even after the actual process has already completed.
Connection Speed: It does not fundamentally speed up the actual download time.
Feature Details: Actual behavior takes precedence.
Please be mindful of excessive internet usage.

Patent pending in Japan.
