Choose a temporary pause

Choose the current-tab option while filling a form, reading a sensitive page, or taking a break from annotations. It pauses the current tab without changing what happens on the rest of the site.

Stickly browsing settings with separate controls for translation, highlights, and practice.
Browsing controls with the current-tab and feature preferences.

Pause the tab

Use the bubble menu or extension entry point, then select the current-tab disable action. The tab becomes quiet while your broader browsing preferences remain unchanged.

Restore the tab

Use the same extension entry point to enable Stickly again. Reloading may be needed for highlights to be reconsidered on a page that was already open.

Keep the scopes distinct

Tab disable affects the current tab. Website disable affects future tabs on that site as well. Feature toggles such as highlights and word practice remain independent of both scopes.
