The extension helps with productivity and time management. You choose a list of websites to mark as unproductive. Then, whenever you go to an unproductive website, the extension will start a timer (you can adjust the length through options). After this timer is over, the extension will turn the tab into a countdown (again, adjustable), during which you can close the tab but can't do much else on it. After the countdown is over, the normal tab resumes, and the timer is started again.
If you're on a different tab when the timer goes off, the extension will move you to the tab that just got frozen. If the tab has been closed, its timer gets canceled.
This extension was built for people like me who don't want to commit to permanently banning unproductive sites on their computer but also don't have the willpower to manually start a lockdown every time they want to block productive sites. The extension is, as its name implies, a soft reminder to get back to work.
As of right now, the extension doesn't work on tabs in multiple different chrome windows.
NOTE THAT IN ORDER FOR THE EXTENSION TO WORK, YOU HAVE TO SET THE LIST OF BLOCKED WEBSITES, TIMER LENGTH, AND FREEZING TIME LENGTH. These can all be done by just clicking settings on the popup from the extension.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
