Description
Hide distractions on any website (YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, etc.), and take back control of your attention!
Mindshield is a browser extension for Safari I built to help myself be less distracted online.
It lets you hide distracting elements on any website, with pre-configured options for YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Google Search, and WhatsApp Web. For example, on YouTube you might want to hide recommended videos, on Facebook you might hide the newsfeed and ads in the sidebar, and on Google Search you might want to hide or highligt ads.
You have full control over what is hidden. Simply click the extension icon in the browser toolbar to select elements to hide, and save your preferred settings. To help hold yourself accountable, you can also add a delay time to change the settings.
Everywhere you go on the internet, something tries to grab your attention. This extension gives you back control. Enjoy!
NOTE: the extension is open source and collects zero user data. See the source code, flag bugs, or submit suggestions for improvement at https://github.com/ulyngs/mindshield-open-source
What’s New
Version 2.7
Hi folks,
this update
1. adds a help button with FAQs, including what to do if the extension becomes irresponsive.
2. fixes a few bugs, including ensuring that the checkboxes with pre-configured options are only shown on the correct URLs, and removing the superfluous refresh button for custom selectors (the list is updated automatically).
Enjoy!

Developer Response ,
UPDATE: I've identified a bug that might've been the one you ran into -- try updating the app and see if it works for you now!
Hi Kamilajek, that sounds strange -- could you let us know what is not working? Are you not able to (a) install the extension, (b) turn it on, (c) make it hide things? If you reach out to team@redd-project.org then we'll get you up and running! Alternatively, create an issue on https://github.com/ulyngs/mindshield-open-source/issues and we'll fix it there?
Best,
Ulrik
