#Wikipedia Focuser Implementation of an idea I had this morning.
##Why? Every once in a while I end up with 17 browser tabs of Wikipedia articles when I started with just one. What happened? I most likely started middle-clicking interesting links as I read the first article and end up with way too many.
##What? So I made a Google Chrome extension to block all links within an article to help keep focused.
##Doesn't That Already Exist? Probably. Honestly, I didn't look it up and I wanted to see how easy it was to make a Chrome extension. (It's really easy).
##How to use From Google's documentation here:
- Visit chrome://extensions in your browser (or open up the Chrome menu by clicking the icon to the far right of the Omnibox: The menu's icon is three horizontal bars.. and select Extensions under the Tools menu to get to the same place).
- Ensure that the Developer mode checkbox in the top right-hand corner is checked.
- Click Load unpacked extension… to pop up a file-selection dialog.
- Navigate to the directory in which your extension files live, and select it.
##What's next? I'm "tagging" this as v0.1 because I didn't put that much effort into it and I only tested it on 3 pages. So a list off the top of my head is:
- Keep Table of Content intact
- Switch to a button that turns the extension on a off when necessary
- Make a logo for button mentioned above
- Market it and sell it for $200
