Wahyudinata Setiawan (ID: 000000419820fd85) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/02/2022 It's like having a thorn on your side whenever you procrastinate. In the middle of a research and suddenly out of nowhere, totally unplanned, definitely not deliberate, you are in a random subreddit fifth page in? This extension would help to prevent that :D
