Focus Mode from Google: what is it and how do I activate it?

We knew that Google was developing a new Chrome feature called “Focus Mode,” but until today we didn’t know its purpose.

As discovered on Reddit, the focus feature or “Focus Mode” is for Google Chrome and is now available in Canary versions of the browser. Focus Mode

Canary versions of Chrome are test builds that Google releases to developers. Many of the features in these builds are experimental before they are included in the stable release.

What is Focus Mode?

The focus feature in Google Chrome is for tabs, and you will be able to access the feature by simply right-clicking on the tab of your choice.

With this feature, Google is offering Chrome users an easy option to open web pages in separate windows that run in their own process. At the moment, we don't know if it offers any additional features, so it appears to be a new and simplified Google Chrome window.

How to enable focus mode

If you want to try out the focus feature in Google Chrome, you will need to install the Canary version, from 75.0.3740.0 onwards.

Then open the internal address:

chrome://flags

and find the flag you will use:

#focus-mode

Alternatively, open the following internal address:

chrome://flags/#focus-mode

Google Chrome Canary has the feature but it is disabled. To enable it, click the drop-down menu and select Enabled. You will need to restart the browser to see the changes.

We currently don't know when Google plans to release the focus feature to the stable version of Chrome, but there's a chance we'll see the new feature in the next version expected to be released on April 23.
