Viking Focus (formerly MindShield) is a browser extension we built to help ourselves be less distracted online.
It lets you hide distracting elements on any website, with pre-configured options for a number of sites, including YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram. 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!

- (2025-08-17) David McMahon: It's a fantastic extension to pick and choose which distracting website elements can be removed from your life, especially from less popular websites. I'm pretty addicted to chess.com, but now I can break the cycle of game after game with this extension. It helps me regain focus, and get back to what I actually want to do.
