New Tab/Focus

A browser extension that replaces new tabs and popups with a minimalist interface, aiming to reduce distractions and promote focus.

What is Fold New Tab/Popup?

Fold New Tab/Popup is a browser extension available for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. It replaces the default new tab page and popups with a clean, distraction-free interface.

When opening a new tab, instead of seeing a grid of your most visited sites and suggestions, you simply get a blank page with a search bar. This eliminates tempting links and recommendations when you don't need them.

Fold also catches and hides pop-up windows and alerts triggered by websites. This removes interruptions when browsing. You get a small notification that a pop-up was blocked, allowing you to manually open it if necessary.

By limiting distractions on new tabs and hiding unnecessary pop-ups, Fold helps users focus on their current task. It promotes intentional browsing by only showing you suggestions when you want them via the search bar.

If you find that the endless content of the web makes focus difficult, Fold New Tab aims to fix that. It creates a calmer, less stimulating browsing experience so you waste less time clicking between sites out of habit.
