Description
Hide distractions on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Google Search, and WhatsApp (Web), and take back control of your attention!
Mindshield is a browser extension for Safari that lets you hide distracting elements on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Google Search, and WhatsApp Web. For example, on YouTube you can hide recommended videos (and more), on Facebook you can hide the newsfeed and ads in the sidebar, on Twitter you can hide trends, and on Google Search you can hide ads, or highlight them.
You have full control over what is hidden. Simply click the extension icon in the browser toolbar to toggle distracting elements on and off, 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 helps you take 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

Ratings and Reviews
Exactly what you need
So much important content (unfortunately) ends up on social media (like answers to technical questions) or arbitrated by it (like creating an account via Facebook) and so outright blocking those sites isn’t realistic any more. The solution is to gut every algorithmic element to them, every infinite feed, every story carousel so they no longer pose a threat to your time. This app succeeds where I failed with some slapped together css selectors. My only wishes would be in depth configurations for Reddit and the ability to block Twitter replies.
And it’s open source, if you thought it couldn’t get any better! Maybe I’ll just make a PR with the features I want.
