Have you ever needed to be able to quickly escape a website you are on and convince others that you are busy working on something when you really aren't?
If so, Look Busy is the extension for you!
There are just a few simple steps:
1. Select the subject that you want to look like you are working on from the dropdown.
2. Click anywhere outside of the popup window to close it (your choice is automatically saved).
3. When you need to quickly escape a webpage, press your Escape key and you will be brought to a random webpage related to the subject that you chose*.
4. Later, if you would like to return to the webpage that you were on before you escaped, hold down your Shift key and press your Home key**.
* Webpages will usually be a Stack Exchange related to the subject or a Stack Overflow if the subject is programming. On rare occasions you may be brought to the front page of Wikipedia (this only occurs if for some reason Look Busy cannot determine what subject you have selected).
** Some smaller keyboards do not have Home keys. A solution for this may be coming in a future update - stay tuned!
⚠ IMPORTANT ⚠
==============
Look Busy overrides the use of your escape key when active. There are many times when browsing the web when you would like to use your escape key for some other reason. In order to deactivate Look Busy, visit chrome://extensions/ and click the toggle on Look Busy to turn it on/off.

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!
