Overview

Allows you to block websites based on the text that appears on their pages.

Defense Against Distractions helps you stay focused when simple website blocking is not enough. Most focus extensions block whole websites. That is useful, but the internet is messier than that. The same website can be helpful in one moment and distracting in another. A search page, chat tool, forum, video site, or AI assistant can support real work, but it can also become a doorway into news, games, drama, videos, and other attention traps. Defense Against Distractions gives you more precise control. Instead of only blocking by URL, you can block pages based on the words and phrases that appear on them. Create groups of websites, add keywords or phrases, assign scores, and let the extension block the page when the distraction score crosses your configured threshold. You can use it to protect study sessions, work blocks, exam preparation, research time, or any situation where you want the browser to stay useful without becoming a detour. Main features: Block pages by keywords, phrases, and weighted scores. Organize different focus rules into website and keyword groups. Use locked schedules, whitelists, password protection, export/import, UI modes, and UI element hiding to keep the setup practical. What is new in version 1.5: Light, dark, and system UI modes. Popup-based UI element picker for hiding distracting page controls. Improved blocked-page overlay with media stopping or muting and selectable diagnostics. Updated store assets, packaging, release checks, and project structure. Defense Against Distractions is open source: https://github.com/molodchyk/Defense_against_Distractions
