SocialGate Extension

A new way to block social media without revoking your access entirely. SocialGate helps you spend less time on social media by presenting a gate on the homepage of popular websites. You'll be asked to confirm your intention to actually use the site before accessing it. This will help you break your habit of unintentionally checking in with social networks.

Social media businesses hire machine learning experts and psychologists who specialize in habit formation. The longer a user spends on their site, the more money they make. The average user cannot fight against this without help.

SocialGate currently displays a gate on the homepages of the following sites: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, and Quora.
