Crackbook is a Chrome extension for discouraging use of attention-sucking
websites such as Facebook or Reddit. The idea behind Crackbook is that delaying
access to the website is more effective than straight blocking because you
are less likely to just disable the block after a while.
The extension will delay every hit to blacklisted site. The delay is just
a few seconds initially, but it increases slightly on every hit.
Unless disabled in settings, the extension will collect and anonymously
submit usage data. Aggregate statistics are available at
<http://crackbook.info>.
Blocking may be limited to specified hours / weekdays. Domains with paths (e.g., "google.com/reader") are also supported.
This extension is open source. Code is hosted at http://github.com/gintas/crackbook (patches welcome!). Please report issues to me directly or file at https://github.com/gintas/crackbook/issues
Changes:
- Crackbook now notices page loads on sites that change URLs without reloading the entire page (such as Facebook).
Previous changes:
- Added a statistics page
- Removed random redirection feature
- Delay increment is now linear

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!
