Checking the chat, it appears it is filled with a lot of low-effort type stuff, something akin to a twitch chat. Are these personal friends or something? I like the idea but that chat ruins it a bit.

You can probably open Developer Tools and remove the entire DOM node if it distracts you so much.

To OP, a "light board" of "I got it done!" where people can mark that they accomplished their Pomodoro would be an interesting feature. With a big disclaimer that it's based on self-reporting and the honor system. OTOH it might be demotivating for some people, so an option to turn it off would be good too.

Maybe even have a streak mode ("20 Pomodoros today!"), but I guess some people will game this for bragging rights, even though no one will know who they are. A way around this is probably to reset it every midnight (UTC), and only allow the maximal number (e.g. at 10:00 AM UTC, only 30 Pomodoros are possible) so no one can brag to have done a gazillion Pomodoros today.

I was also a bit annoyed, so If you also use Arc browser you can use this boost to remove it https://arc.net/boost/4D18CEB9-8295-407B-BB06-A0A6BE6BB190
