Surf Softener is a browser extension developed by josh.softwhere, available for Chrome. This free extension falls under the category of Browsers, specifically in the Add-ons & Tools subcategory. Currently in beta mode, Surf Softener aims to help users regain control over their browsing habits.

With the increasing amount of captivating media streams and endless feeds, it is easy to lose track of time while browsing. Surf Softener offers a unique solution by allowing users to customize a list of URLs. When these websites are loaded, they gradually blur out of focus when the mouse is motionless or when no keys are pressed. This subtle break in the seamless browsing experience helps users stay focused and avoid getting lost in prolonged engagement.

One of the key features of Surf Softener is the ability for users to adjust the intensity and onset of the page blur. This allows for a personalized browsing experience tailored to individual preferences. Additionally, the extension provides a set of "snooze" timers, giving users the option to temporarily pause the blurring effect for a specific amount of time.

Surf Softener is an innovative browser extension that offers a simple yet effective way to reduce the frictionless nature of online browsing. By providing users with the ability to personalize their browsing experiences, it empowers them to maintain a healthier balance between online engagement and offline activities.
