Stop Wasting Time Extension

Stop Wasting Time is a lightweight, fast and simple app that allows you to either block or whitelist websites, while reminding you of your goals.

This extension allows you to switch between 2 modes: a block mode and a limit (whitelist) mode.

Block Mode
When block mode, is activated, any website URL in your block list that matches, or is included in the URL of a page you visit, is blocked.

Limit Mode
When in limit mode, only website URLs in your limit list are accessible. All other websites are blocked.

The mode you are on can be switched via the extension popup. Website URLs can be added to both the block list and limit list via the extension popup, which can be opened by clicking on the extension icon in your browser.

Your block list and limit list are stored separately.

When you visit a blocked page you will be redirected to a page that reminds you of your goals. These goals can be set on the extension options page, which can be accessed by clicking on the extension icon in your browser.

Witek Przeciechowski (ID: 000000f13ebd7401) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/25/2023 the plugin doesn't ask for a permission to read everything on the websites you visit - that a big advantage over pretty much every other similar plugin
