I made a Chrome extension to stop mindless browsing

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.

  A basketball hoop to maximize shots that go in [video]▲971

  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.
