HubSpot Focus Mode

“Because nobody likes a sidebar screaming at them to pay more.”

Ever clicked around in HubSpot Starter only to be ambushed by tiny “upgrade” arrows? Us too. It’s even more annoying to explain to a client, “Why do I see it then?” …because HubSpot. They’re still great, but they do love an upsell. So we built a little Chrome extension that quietly hides all that noise.

Why This Exists

• Stop the Upsell Hype
  HubSpot’s menu is like that overly eager friend always trying to buy rounds—helpful sometimes, but distracting when you just want to work. We yank out every “upgrade” link and arrow from the navbar so you can focus.

• Focus Mode
  One click in the toolbar and all upgrade‑only features vanish. No more clutter. No more confusion.

📦 What’s Inside

• manifest.json
  Configures the content script (content.js)

• content.js

  • Scans for any links or buttons that lead to /pricing/ or /upgrade
  • Tags them with .hidden-by-menu-hider and sets display: none
  • Watches HubSpot’s React injections & SPA navigation and re‑hides on the fly

• Popup UI

  • popup.html + popup.js + styles.css
  • A slick on/off Focus Mode switch
  • A Reload button with spinner
