I made a Chrome extension to stop mindless browsing
Build the habit of focus.
I made a Chrome extension to stop mindless browsing launched on April 21, 2020 with 519 votes, #12 of 5,003 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 6 years on.
In plain words
This Chrome extension helps users reduce mindless browsing by encouraging intentional internet use. Launched in 2020, it targets people who want to be more conscious about their online habits. The extension prompts users to confirm their purpose before visiting websites, creating friction that promotes deliberate browsing choices rather than automatic, distracted web use.

https://github.com/OlexG/finclaw ^ repo if anyone wants to contribute. I realized that sometimes I'm pretty good at making random guesses about the future.
