Hide Elements on Websites: Point and Click in Chrome and Edge

Blocking a whole site is sometimes too much. You need the site, just not the trending sidebar, the comment section or the recommendation strip that keeps pulling your attention away. SuperchargeFocus lets you hide those parts and keep the rest.

It runs in Chrome and Edge, with no account.

Three Ways to Hide Something

Make This Page Calmer

The panel shows quick chips for the common cases. On YouTube that includes Watch intentionally, covered in detail on the YouTube distractions page.

Pick an Element

Choose the picker, move the mouse over the page, and the element under the cursor is outlined. The keyboard refines the selection:

When a pick can only be described by its position on the page, SuperchargeFocus also records the element’s text and checks it before hiding. If the page layout shifts later, the rule does not hide the wrong thing.

Type a Request

Describe the change in a few words:

• hide comments, hide shorts or hide recommendations
• hide "Trending now" to hide small sections containing that exact text
• hide .sidebar to hide elements matching a CSS selector

Requests are read by a small parser on your device. Every match is previewed before saving, so nothing changes until you confirm.

Site or Page

Each change is saved with a scope:

• This site applies across the whole site.
• This page applies to that one address only.

You can keep up to 200 saved changes. Remove one from the panel and the element returns at once.

Hidden, Not Deleted

Page changes hide elements in your browser. The site itself is not modified, other people see the normal page, and nothing is sent anywhere. Hidden elements stay hidden after reloads and on later visits until you remove the change.

When to Block Instead

If a site has nothing you need during work hours, a page change is the wrong tool. Put it on your block list instead.
