Installation

How do I install Ofemy Focus?
Open the Chrome Web Store listing and click Add to Chrome. Confirm the permission prompt. After install, pin the icon in your toolbar so it's one click away.
Does it work on Edge / Brave / Arc?
Any Chromium-based browser that lets you install Chrome Web Store extensions should work, including Edge, Brave, and Arc. We test primarily on Chrome stable. A native Edge Add-ons listing may follow later.
What about Firefox or Safari?
Not yet. Manifest V3 differences would require a separate build for each. If there's enough demand, we'd love to ship one.

Blocker

How do I block a site?
Visit the site, open the popup, click Blocks → Block this site. Optionally add a daily time budget (in minutes) or one or more schedule windows. Save and you're done.
I blocked a site by accident — how do I unblock it?
Open the extension's Options page (right-click the icon → Options, or the popup's gear icon). Find the block rule and delete it, or toggle it off.
What happens at midnight with time budgets?
Daily counters reset at midnight in your computer's local timezone. Idle minutes (when you step away from the computer) don't count against the budget.

Element hider

How do I hide an element on a page?
Open the popup on the page you're on → Hiders → Pick element. Hover over the page; the element under your cursor is outlined. Click to select. Hold Alt while scrolling to walk up or down the DOM tree. Pick a hide mode (remove from layout, display: none, or fade to opacity 0) and save.
Why did my rule stop working after a site update?
Sites change their CSS classes and DOM structure from time to time. When that happens, your selector may no longer match. Use the picker to recreate the rule, or edit the selector by hand in Options.

Content filter

How is the content filter different from the element hider?
The hider removes the same element every time. The filter looks at a repeating container (cards in a feed, items in a list) and hides only the ones whose text matches your keywords or regex.
Can I use regex?
Yes. Toggle the regex mode in the filter editor and use any JavaScript-flavored regex. Plain keywords are matched case-insensitively as substrings.

Data & privacy

Where is my data stored?
Locally on your device, in Chrome's storage.local API. Nothing is sent to us. See the privacy policy for the full picture.
Can I back up or move my rules to another machine?
Yes. From the Options page, use Export to download a JSON file with all your rules, and Import on the other machine to restore.
How do I uninstall and remove all data?
Right-click the extension icon → Remove from Chrome. Chrome deletes the extension and the storage.local data it owned.

Troubleshooting

The popup is empty / the picker won't open.
First, try reloading the page. The content script only injects on page navigation. Some pages (chrome://, the Chrome Web Store itself) don't allow extensions to inject — that's a Chrome limitation and the picker won't work there.
A site I blocked still loads.
Double-check the URL pattern in Options matches the site (subdomains may need a wildcard). If you're inside a schedule window, the rule should be active — try toggling it off and on. Still stuck? Email us with the URL and a screenshot.
