Gooblock is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your focus while using Google's search engine by blocking distracting features. It helps you stay on track when searching for specific information, preventing you from getting sidetracked by Google's various features and suggestions.
In today's fast-paced digital world, it's easy to lose focus while searching for information online. Google Search, while powerful, can often lead you down rabbit holes of distractions. Gooblock aims to mitigate this by providing a distraction-free search experience.
When you use Google Search, your original focus on a particular search can quickly be disrupted by features such as ads, suggested searches, and other distractions. You may only have the intention to search for a specific question but then you get recommendations for people, different topics and that how you'll lose quickly your focus or will quickly lose yourself about what you wanted to search right at the beginning. Gooblock helps you maintain your focus on the task at hand, allowing you to find the information you need without unnecessary interruptions.

To test if the extension was compatible with different languages, as not everyone works with the default English language, I used this url to regularly change my browser language to see if it was compatible and if there were things I needed to add to make it work. Google Language Change
