Infinite Scroll Blocker Extension

Shows a full screen message when it catches you scrolling and scrolling.

This should work on any website including those with sneaky infinite loading updates, if however it is not working as interned on a specific website please let me know. I have tested it on most of the bigger sites.

This extension does not access, track, or collect any data whatsoever. The only local storage the extension uses is for the local extension settings, these settings do not leave your device.

Change log:
v1.2 - Add \"Allowed sites\" list, where the reminder is disabled.
v1.1 - Add setting to change reminder message text.

Laird Darknight (ID: 00000004479500bb) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/30/2023 I tested on google.com. It doen't work!

Elizabeth Knight (ID: 00000095f9726f29) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/30/2022 I really wanted to love this app, but it's not what I had in mind when I looked for an infinite scroll blocker. I wanted something that would let me see one page of google search results at a time, but I thought this could potentially work as a halfway decent alternative. Unfortunately, I'd only had it installed less than 6 hours when I decided to order some food and the extension thought me opening the website was too much scrolling? I couldn't even access the site itself to, you know, order my food. It did NOT stop me from doomscrolling and it also got in my way. Would not recommend

Reza Arya (ID: 0000002cd08e8cdd) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/15/2022 it doesn't allow to save the list sites, once i saved it, then refreshed it, it disappear, and then when i tried again, it won't let me add anything, when added it's just empty table. This is such a must have app

Felix Pichardo (ID: 000000016e2ef307) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/29/2022 This would be great if it worked in reverse (or at least had that option). Blocking "infinite scroll" on ALL websites by default is not useful or wanted. However, there are some sites I'd like to block. It made even using my banking website a nightmare.

Kevin Harland (ID: 000000f13b8d97d0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/18/2022 I really liked this extension, it prevents me from mindlessly scrolling through website.
