Vedant (ID: 000000b2aff87462) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/04/2023 Still the best focus extension which exists , the others allow you to shift tabs but this forces you to hold it so i usually do not have that amount of patience and end up closing up the tab Saves a lot of time , i have set up the timer to 30s for max benefit which works really amazing for me Thanks u so much

Mateusz M (ID: 000000438b0cfc41) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/29/2023 Perfect Simple Extension. I just wish there was possibility to make groups for settings and time periods that activate a group, like If I am working (time period 8-16) activate group 1, before sleep activate groups 3

Bryce Johnson (ID: 0000008f8a3411e5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/27/2023 best delayed gratification extension so far. I love that it forces me to hold the button down so I cant switch between tabs.

Shivam Mishra (ID: 000000c8ebddd7b5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/14/2023 This is the best extension not even comparable to other alternatives. we have to hold the button here whereas we can change tab and open the website in other apps, somtimes other extension don't activate but this one has been consistent as far as i remember. I don't think i can provide monetary support but man please take my praises. hats of to you man
