Fokus Extension

Fokus emphasizes anything you select by covering the rest of the page with a semi-transparent black overlay.

You can try it out here http://lab.hakim.se/fokus/ before installing.

The plugin comes with a few options that can be accessed from Chrome's extension listing page. This allows you to:
- Adjust overlay opacity
- Specify a modifier key shift/ctrl/alt/cmd which must be held down to active the overlay
- Adjust the padding around selection

Jens Fridsen (ID: 00000048bed4a888) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/20/2023 Works as expected and is really useful. Just wanted a quick way to switch on and off.

Chelsea Kingzett (ID: 0000002f71c0606d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/20/2022 I can't figure out how it works! It seems like a great extension based on the demo site but in't user intuitive. Could someone help me explain how to use the extension? Thanks1

Joey Aste (ID: 000000f00aa9e922) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/17/2015 this is great cause it helps with me having cataracts. Plus I'm a coder too so it now helps with that also TY

Aaron Artille (ID: 000000d3cfb0786c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/25/2015 Great idea from a hugely talented interactive media developer/designer, however the execution here is not what I was hoping for. If this extension is open source, will see if I can help to address some minor annoyances with it. The main gripe I have is that it cues when I select portions of text within input fields to be edited or copied, and so e.g. this has caused issues with Facebook chat if I want to select all and delete (happens often in cases where the question I am about to ask is answered before I send the question -- great minds think alike). Rating 5/5 because I'm not sure that other people would have this issue and I want to show some support for the developer. Hopefully the annoyances can be worked out! If not, it was free anyway so not really that worried about it.
