UnDistracted - Hide Facebook, YouTube Feeds Extension

This chrome extension will become an assistant in your pursuit to control the time we spend every day in infamous time-sinks: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and LinkedIn.

We all know how distracting and engrossing these sites can be, but blocking them totally is also not a feasible option since they do provide some really useful content.

We have identified those parts in each of these websites that grab our attention and serve us unlimited content all day. This extension enables you to hide each of these parts selectively, and even block access to any of these websites.

Your settings are synced over the google account so that you can use this extension in multiple computers with the same settings.

Note: No history is accessed by the extension and WE DO NOT send/store any browsing related information.

All feedback is welcome.

Version 3.0 new paid features:
● Lock settings with a password
● Disable filters on certain days
● Scholarship for Students

Resources we love:
● Deep Work by Cal Newport
● Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Konstantin K. (ID: 000000b38fa78141) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/04/2024 Just what I needed. Thank you so much! UPD: In 2024 unfortunately doesn't work on hiding Twitter trends. UPD 2: Also for some reason my settings are being reset to default every once in a while, and I need to put checkmarks again and again.

Atharv Phirke (ID: 000000199f60afbd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/11/2024 I am never the one to rate and comment but this extension really made me do it. I wanted to really escape the matrix of these distractions by youtube and instagram and couldn't really find a way out of it. The final option left for me was to delete my accounts on those platforms. But when i found this extension i clearky have no need of doing that. Thank you @tweetjai.
