Emphasized text-highlighting

Image from store Fokus
Description from store Fokus emphasizes anything you select by covering the rest of the page with a semi-transparent black overlay. You can try it out here http://lab.hakim.se/fokus/ before installing. The plugin comes with a few options that can be accessed from Chrome's extension listing page. This allows you to: - Adjust overlay opacity - Specify a modifier key shift/ctrl/alt/cmd which must be held down to active the overlay - Adjust the padding around selection

  • (2023-03-20) Jens Fridsen: Works as expected and is really useful. Just wanted a quick way to switch on and off.
  • (2022-07-20) Chelsea Kingzett: I can't figure out how it works! It seems like a great extension based on the demo site but in't user intuitive. Could someone help me explain how to use the extension? Thanks1
  • (2021-01-27) weiqi sun: 简直太适合我这种不选中不能阅读星人了!
  • (2015-10-17) Joey Aste: this is great cause it helps with me having cataracts. Plus I'm a coder too so it now helps with that also TY
  • (2015-03-25) Aaron Artille: Great idea from a hugely talented interactive media developer/designer, however the execution here is not what I was hoping for. If this extension is open source, will see if I can help to address some minor annoyances with it. The main gripe I have is that it cues when I select portions of text within input fields to be edited or copied, and so e.g. this has caused issues with Facebook chat if I want to select all and delete (happens often in cases where the question I am about to ask is answered before I send the question -- great minds think alike). Rating 5/5 because I'm not sure that other people would have this issue and I want to show some support for the developer. Hopefully the annoyances can be worked out! If not, it was free anyway so not really that worried about it.
  • (2014-10-15) Zhiheng Lin: Great job and would be perfect if there was an option to set the plugin disabled on some sites.
  • (2014-07-06) 未知未知: But how to change the background color of selected words? 怎么改变已选文字的背景颜色?
  • (2014-05-18) João Santos Dias: This tool is awesome! I use it in my classes, to just show what I want of a document. Is it possible to use 100% opacity and, most off all, the possibility of manually defining the space to show? Thank you!
  • (2014-05-06) luca: 这个 喜欢鼠标覆盖一段文字阅读,把其它地方阴影,想法很妙!
  • (2012-10-11) Alun Davey (4lun): I've always been in the habit of selecting text as I read it, this extension makes the experience almost perfect. Would be nice if there was an option to add a modifier key that would have to be pressed in combination with the mouse drag/double click to trigger it, as I've come across a few instances where it would be desirable not to have the extension kick in. Update: now has modifier key option, awesome!
  • (2012-09-26) Jim R Morrison: While the principle is great, its getting annoying over time as I simply try to right-click, 'open in new tab' etc.. this triggers a selection and therefore covers the page I wasn't finished scanning for info, links etc. Like the other commenter here, a key command/mouse drag would be more desirable. I'm deactivating for now, but really hope this improvement can be included in a future release.
  • (2012-09-24) Don L. Hahn: I actually found this through the developer's website, I love having this on every website I visit rather than just my own. Works just as it says, in a beautiful and pleasing way.
  • (2012-09-24) Niklas Olaisson: Does what it supposed to do!
