  description

  Marketplace Focus is a free Chrome extension that blocks Facebook Reels so you can use Facebook as a focused tool — not an endless scroll. Built for flippers, resellers, deal hunters, and anyone who needs Facebook for work without the distraction of short-form video.
  
  Whether you are sourcing inventory on Facebook Marketplace, managing buy/sell groups, or simply want a cleaner feed, Marketplace Focus removes Reels links, buttons, and video modules across all of Facebook while keeping everything else intact.
  
  🚫 BLOCK FACEBOOK REELS
  
  Hides Reels buttons, links, and Reels modules across your entire Facebook experience. Choose between two blocking modes:
  
  Strong Blocking (recommended): Hides all Reels elements and redirects you back to Facebook Home if a Reels page opens. Nothing gets through.
  
  Light Blocking: Hides Reels buttons and links only. If you navigate directly to a Reels URL, Facebook may still show it.
  
  ⏸️ QUICK PAUSE
  
  Need to check a Reel someone sent you? Pause blocking for 5 to 180 minutes, then it automatically re-enables. You control the timer length in settings.
  
  🔒 HARD LOCK (ANTI-BYPASS)
  
  Hard Lock removes the Pause button entirely and adds a cooldown delay before you can disable blocking. Perfect for moments when willpower alone is not enough. Set a turn-off delay from 0 to any number of minutes to prevent impulsive disabling.
  
  📅 SCHEDULE MODE
  
  Set blocking to run automatically on specific days and hours. Ideal for work hours, study sessions, or anytime you need Facebook distraction-free. Supports overnight schedules and per-day selection.
  
  ✅ SMART EXCEPTIONS (ALLOW LIST)
  
  Allow Reels on specific Facebook pages or profiles while keeping them blocked everywhere else. Add rules by URL, path, or profile name — one per line.
  
  🛡️ FRICTION CONTROLS
  
  Add confirmation prompts before you can disable or pause blocking. A small speed bump that prevents mindless unblocking.
  
  🌙 MODERN DARK UI
  
  Clean popup interface and a tabbed Settings page with three sections: Blocking, Controls, and Schedule. Fast to set up, easy to adjust.
  
  🎯 WHO IS IT FOR?
  
  Resellers & Flippers: Use Facebook Marketplace to source inventory and flip deals without getting pulled into Reels. Stay on task and close more deals.
  
  Remote Workers: Need Facebook for work groups and Messenger but not the distractions. Block Reels during work hours with Schedule Mode.
  
  Students: Stay focused during study sessions. Set a Hard Lock so you cannot bypass it when temptation hits.
  
  Parents & Mindful Browsers: Reduce screen time and short-form video consumption without deleting Facebook entirely.
  
  ADHD & Focus Tools Users: Pairs well with other productivity extensions. Hard Lock and Friction Controls are designed for impulse-prone moments.
  
  🔒 PRIVACY & TRUST
  
  No account required. No data collection. No tracking. All blocking happens locally in your browser. Marketplace Focus only runs on facebook.com and requests zero unnecessary permissions.
  
  ⚙️ Built on Manifest V3, Chrome's latest and most secure extension standard.
  
  ⌨️ QUICK ACCESS
  
  Click the extension icon to toggle blocking, pause, or activate Hard Lock — all from a single popup. Open Settings for full control over modes, schedules, and exceptions.
  
  Stop letting Reels hijack your Facebook time. Install Marketplace Focus and take back control of your feed.
