Hide Feed Extension

Do you ever start watching one YouTube video and spend hours falling down the recommendations rabbit hole?
Or open Gmail to write an email and end up reading all the new mail you received instead?
Or open Facebook or Twitter to check your notifications and end up scrolling through the feed?

That's because websites today are designed to suck you in and keep you engaged by constantly providing new content. Hide Feed prevents that by replacing feeds with beautiful images so that you can avoid distractions and stay focused.

When you're finally ready to browse new posts, read new email, or watch recommended videos, you can show the feed with one click. With Hide Feed, you get to choose.

Alexander Hjalmarsson (ID: 000000b50dc350c8) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/29/2022 Definently one of the best undistracters out there. One issue though. On facebook, when you're not logged in, and the extension is enabled, the login page, and the forms are not on the page. Because of this you can not log in. This is kind of an issue, as my browser clears cookies when closed.
