Safari’s new feature lets you hide distractions

Apple is adding a new feature called “Distraction Control” to its web browser Safari. This feature allows users to hide distractions while surfing the internet. This innovation, which aims to eliminate distractions such as cookie preference pop-ups, was introduced with Apple’s fifth iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS Sequoia developer betas.

According to MacRumors, the “Distraction Control” feature comes with a very user-friendly interface. Using this feature, you can select “Hide Distracting Elements” from the browser menu and then select the elements you want to hide on the page. Hidden elements disappear from the page with a smooth animation. However, Apple states that this feature will not permanently hide frequently updated ads and other content. So, it is not possible to completely eliminate every ad you see.

The video shared by MacRumors contains more detailed information about how the “Distraction Control” feature works. When you select the elements you want to hide, these elements disappear from the page with a nice animation. However, it is important to remember that these hidden items are not synchronized with other devices. This means that items you hide on one device will continue to appear on your other devices.

This new feature from Apple is considered a step towards improving the user experience. It aims to help users spend more productive time on the internet by hiding distractions. It is a very useful innovation, especially for users who want to minimize distraction while working or reading important information.

Another innovation coming with the iOS 18 beta update

Along with the Distraction Control feature, there are other innovations in the fifth beta version of iOS 18. The renewed Photos application has undergone some changes in this beta version. Notably, the new carousel view feature introduced earlier has been removed in this version. These changes show how much Apple cares about user feedback and is constantly trying to improve its products.

The “Distraction Control” feature that Apple added to the Safari browser is seen as an important step towards making the browser experience more efficient. This feature, which aims to provide a more focused and efficient browsing experience by eliminating distracting elements for users, is a good example of how technology can make daily life easier. It is a matter of curiosity how such innovations will change users’ internet usage habits. It seems that Apple will continue to improve its products by taking into account the feedback of its users.
