Hi Talha,

Thank you for your feedback. First, it's a "new tab" extension, it is supposed to work this way β€” provide the news in an accessible manner and in a way that is passively consumable. Helping the developers to save effort and time in searching for news.

Regarding the distraction part, we totally get that. Sometimes it happens. That's why we have built a Do Not Disturb Mode. You can turn it on while you work.

Again, thank you for your feedback. If you have any other concerns, feel free to reach out.

Of course. It is obvious.

I intended to suggest (request) a UI that does not depend on the "new tab"β€”for example, showing the list only when the user clicks on the addon button, or to host the list at a web address and do away with the addon.

Unfortunately, we are not planning for that. Our current focus is the extension only so that users can consume the news effortlessly.

We understand your concern, that's why we have DND mode.
