About this extension

Viking Focus (formerly MindShield) is a browser extension we built to help ourselves be less distracted online.

It lets you hide distracting elements on any website, with pre-configured options for YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Google Search, and WhatsApp Web. For example, on YouTube you might want to hide recommended videos, on Facebook you might hide the newsfeed and ads in the sidebar, and on Google Search you might want to hide or highligt ads.

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.

Everywhere you go on the internet, something tries to grab your attention. This extension gives you back control. Enjoy!

Release notes for 3.4

Hi folks,

this update includes bug fixes and improvements:

on YouTube, corrected selectors for hiding video thumbnails, view counts, and search suggestions so this should now work again
when you hide things, the checkboxes now give you a visual feedback when the app is working on hiding content

Remember the app is open source -- keep the suggestions coming at https://github.com/ulyngs/mindshield-open-source

Cheers,

Ulrik & the ReDD Team
