Detractless New Tab Focus

[What it is]

Detractless is a focused new tab extension designed to reduce distraction and make browsing feel calmer and more intentional.

Instead of overwhelming you with noise, Detractless replaces the new tab with a clean, organized space and offers optional focus safeguards that help prevent impulsive behavior while browsing.

[What it does]

- Provides a minimal, distraction-free new tab that acts as a calm starting point
- Adds optional search delays to reduce impulsive searches
- Limits excessive tab opening to prevent cognitive overload
- Applies a subtle page fade-in to reduce visual jolt when pages load
- Allows users to hide distracting page elements (such as feeds or recommendations) on sites they choose
- Supports export and import of settings, making it easy to restore your setup on any device

[Why install it]

Most productivity tools try to motivate you to focus.
Detractless takes a different approach: it removes unnecessary friction and noise so focus becomes the default.

Everything runs locally, nothing is tracked, and all features are user-controlled and optional. Detractless doesn’t tell you what to do — it simply creates an environment that makes intentional browsing easier.

If you want a calmer web experience without constant reminders, timers, or pressure, Detractless is designed for exactly that.
