Good addon, only two things that annoy me badly. 1. The background blur when you hover over the module. I would love to be able to turn that off. It is so distracting. Also it makes every dark page brighter, which negates darkmodes. 2. Not sure what this AI input field is for. It feels very much out of place and forced into this addon. Just to sell AI. It would be a much cleaner functionality without it. It also makes it feel super sketchy. Reminds me of the crypto times where crypto was put in everything and most of it turned out to be scams. It has the same feel to it.

Works nicely but unfortunately phones home (maxfocus.us) each time it is used. I've tried blocking the home server system-wide, MaxFocus extension still works but delivers an incorrect rendering. IMO phoning home appears as necessary for technical reasons (fine tuning previewed page rendering from their servers rather than with the extension itself) rather than led by deliberate privacy intrusion, yet the fact remains : MaxFocus servers know every site the user visits when the extension is used. MaxFocus Privacy Policy at https://maxfoc.us/privacy-policy/ is clear.
