SocialFocus: Hide Distractions by Yevhen Tretiakov
Review by Notafan
Rated 5 out of 5
by Notafan, 5 months agoI use the iOS Safari version and Firefox on the desktop.
Amazing, slowly neutering the appeal of social media. Has been great for my YouTube habit and negative feelings from Instagram stories.
Not totally unhooked yet, but having a great effect. I felt boredom and started to read a book, amazing. Kills the endless scroll, exactly what I was looking for.
So happy this works on iOS in Safari too. Beyond ad-blockers this is the new web essential for our age. Where ads are annoying, but arguably immoral to block because they supply money to sites, this is 100% totally moral because it shows how similar certain features in social media are to nicotine in cigarettes, and also how easily companies could remove them and have measurably positive outcomes on society.
Keep doing the good work!
Ps. One request would be the Instagram stories ring around people's profile picture's, that would be a great thing to be able to block!
