1. Key Features and Future Roadmap
“Spinning Blocker” blocks loading animations and other such elements (Patent Pending in Japan), making the experience more enjoyable.
It blocks and reduces loading animations, such as spinning circles and some AI-generated thinking animations.
Improved Focus and Work Efficiency: By eliminating unnecessary spinning motions, the extension keeps the screen clean and distraction-free, helping users maintain concentration and boost productivity.
This is not intended to block regular content such as images, videos, or text: This software can block and mitigate loading animations such as spinning circles, thinking animations of some AI generators, and other similar distracting elements.
Reduces PC Fatigue and Supports Workplace Well-being: Ideal for reducing daily browsing fatigue, it also serves as a practical tool for corporate environments—helping employees stay focused during online tasks and supporting workplace digital wellness initiatives.
Cross-Browser Compatibility & Commercial Use: Available for Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. The extension can be used by both individuals and organizations for personal, non-profit, or commercial purposes.
Future updates will expand support to address other disruptive UI elements beyond loading animations.
2. Licensing and Pricing Plans
Free Trial Period: Users can try the extension free of charge for approximately two weeks to three months. (Note: The extension remains completely free to use until the development of the billing system is completed.)
Cross-Platform License Keys: License keys (license codes) will be available for purchase via our official website and partner platforms. A single license key is planned to work across Chrome, Edge, and Firefox editions. (For Apple devices and platforms requiring app store billing, in-app store payment options are planned.)
Additionally, an Emerging Markets Edition offering core features for free is planned for select developing regions.
3. Our Vision and Background
We developed “Spinning Blocker” with a clear mission: to provide a safe, comfortable browsing environment for individuals who have nearly given up on efficient or advanced computer work due to sensitivity to loading animations and visual motion.
We strive to contribute to equal access to online information and web services, advancing the principles of universal web design. Furthermore, by enabling researchers, developers, and professionals to focus deeply on their computer work without visual strain, we hope to contribute to the broader advancement of science and technology.
