Focus Selection

Select text to blur everything else. Read paragraph by paragraph with arrow keys. Clean black-on-white selection on any site.

Focus Selection helps you concentrate on what you're actually reading. Select any text on a webpage, and everything else gently blurs away — leaving only your selection sharp and readable. Selected text is always displayed in clean black-on-white, overriding hard-to-read site-specific selection colors. FEATURES Just select Select text and everything outside your selection blurs automatically. Click anywhere or press Esc to dismiss. Read paragraph by paragraph Press ↑↓ to move between paragraphs. The current paragraph scrolls to the center of your screen automatically, so you can read an entire article without touching the mouse. Stops at figures and images too Images, figures, videos, and embeds between paragraphs are treated as reading stops — you'll never miss "see the figure below." Figures and their captions stay together. Readable selection on any site Overrides custom selection colors (hard-to-read blues and odd color schemes) with high-contrast black text on a white background. Original layout preserved Unlike reader modes, the page is never rebuilt. Layout, images, and embeds stay exactly where they are — only your view is focused. HOW TO USE Select the text you want to read After a brief pause, everything else blurs Press ↓ for the next paragraph, ↑ for the previous one Press Esc or click anywhere to dismiss Click the toolbar icon to toggle the extension on or off.
