Displays an interactive loading screen to help users deal with stress that accompanies long online waiting times.
Waiting? Extension
If so, then you are in need of a new type of loading screen - an interactive one.
Based on the results of a study conducted by two high school students from Staten Island Technical High School (Eric Stein and Daniel Volshteyn), an interactive loading screen greatly assists in increasing a web user's tolerable waiting time (i.e. how long he/she is willing to wait) and therefore decreasing stress. When high-school students were tested with a blank, passive, and interactive loading screen, those with the interactive portrayed the highest average tolerable waiting time.
This extension adds a, \"Waiting?\" button to the top-right corner of your browser, which you can click on to view and interact with a Newton's Cradle loading screen as you wait, thus giving you access to an online survival tool on any website you visit.
