Detractless - New Tab & Focus

Minimalist new tab page with bookmarks, tab limits, and search delay intervention.

[What it is] Detractless is a focused new tab extension designed to reduce distraction and make browsing feel calmer and more intentional. Instead of overwhelming you with noise, Detractless replaces the new tab with a clean, organized space and offers optional focus safeguards that help prevent impulsive behavior while browsing. [What it does] - Provides a minimal, distraction-free new tab that acts as a calm starting point - Adds optional search delays to reduce impulsive searches - Limits excessive tab opening to prevent cognitive overload - Applies a subtle page fade-in to reduce visual jolt when pages load - Allows users to hide distracting page elements (such as feeds or recommendations) on sites they choose - Supports export and import of settings, making it easy to restore your setup on any device [Why install it] Most productivity tools try to motivate you to focus. Detractless takes a different approach: it removes unnecessary friction and noise so focus becomes the default. Everything runs locally, nothing is tracked, and all features are user-controlled and optional. Detractless doesn’t tell you what to do — it simply creates an environment that makes intentional browsing easier. If you want a calmer web experience without constant reminders, timers, or pressure, Detractless is designed for exactly that.
