Distraction Eraser: Hide Content Blocks and Shape the Web to Fit You
Key Points:
- Clean up any page, your way: Hide unwanted elements like chatbot bubbles, and layout blocks in seconds.
- Beyond ad blocking: Remove individual or similar distractions in just a few steps.
- Your web, remembered: Ghostery saves your preferences and keeps distractions hidden every time you return.
At Ghostery, we believe your browser should work for you, not against your focus. That’s why we go beyond blocking ads and trackers—to help you remove the clutter that gets in your way.
Take Control of Webpages and Hide Content That Distracts You
Enter Distraction Eraser, a feature that extends Ghostery’s core protection to give you more say in how webpages look and feel. Whether it’s a persistent chatbot bubble or a layout element you just don’t need, Distraction Eraser lets you hide it permanently in just a few simple steps.
Just point, adjust, and confirm. Then watch as the unwanted element magically disappears. No code, no hassle. And it doesn't stop there. With a simple slider, you can ask Ghostery to hide not just one distraction, but every similar one across the page.
Ghostery Keeps Hidden Elements Out of Sight on Every Visit
This isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about agency. When you hide a content block, Ghostery remembers your preference and keeps that element out of sight every time you revisit the page. No complicated rules, no technical know-how. Just a cleaner, calmer web that works the way you want it to. And if you change your mind? No problem. You can easily restore anything you've hidden in your Ghostery settings. Flexibility is part of the deal.
Being able to remove content blocks is just one way Ghostery goes beyond blocking ads, trackers and pop-ups. We’re constantly working to make your browsing experience safer, easier, and more enjoyable. Every feature we build is guided by one core idea: privacy and control should feel empowering, not complicated.
The Tracker & Ad Blocker That Puts You First
We’re proud to be the friendliest ad blocker in the world - open-source, free, and built by people who care deeply about making the internet more private for everyone. From blocking invasive trackers and ads to helping you take charge of how the web looks and feels, Ghostery is here to give you the tools, not the noise. So go ahead and erase the distractions. Your focus deserves it.
