About SocialFocus
SocialFocus is a browser extension for Safari, Chrome and Firefox that hides selected elements of social media sites rather than blocking those sites outright. According to the homepage, it covers 7 websites with more than 115 individual options, so a user can conceal feeds, suggested posts or similar elements while still reaching messaging, links and search results. Settings can be applied with one tap, protected by a password, and delayed through a pre-entry timeout intended to guard against compulsive changes. A higher tier called SocialFocus Plus is advertised for additional control, but no price or plan details are given.
