Total focus mode

[joy3d]

It would be interesting to develop a “Total Focus” mode in the browser, designed for those who need maximum concentration when reading or working on the web. This mode would allow users to turn off all visual and sound distractions, focusing the experience only on the main content of the page.

Features that could include:

Notification Blocking: During this mode, all notifications (both system and website notifications) would be temporarily disabled, preventing interruptions while reading or working.

Hiding Secondary Elements: Toolbars, additional tabs and other elements that are not the main content of the page would be hidden, leaving a clean and focused screen.

Automatic Highlighting of Primary Content: The browser could intelligently identify which part of the page is the primary content (such as an article, document or relevant section) and highlight it, hiding distractions such as ads or sidebars.

Simple Activation/Deactivation: A simple keyboard shortcut or accessible button would allow the mode to be activated or deactivated quickly, adapting to the user's needs at the time.

Customizable Options: Could offer settings for the user to decide which elements to keep visible, such as a progress bar or basic navigation controls.

Potential Benefits:

Would facilitate a distraction-free reading experience, ideal for those focusing on long articles, research or important tasks.
It would improve productivity and allow users to navigate more efficiently, without the need to switch between applications or tools.
It would be especially useful for students, researchers or professionals seeking full concentration on the web.
