Take a mindful pause before visiting distracting websites
We often find ourselves mindlessly opening social media tabs dozens of times per day out of habit, not intention. Mindful Browser adds a simple 1-minute pause before loading potentially distracting websites, giving you a chance to ask: "Do I really need to check this right now?"
This small intervention can make a big difference in how you use the internet, helping you reclaim your time and attention.
Download the extension files from GitHub and install them in Chrome with just a few clicks - no coding required!
Add patterns for websites that tend to distract you. The extension comes with Chess.com as a default, but you can add any sites you want.
When you visit a distracting site, you'll see a blank page with a simple message for 60 seconds. After the pause, the website will load normally.
This brief delay is often enough to break the automatic habit and make a more mindful choice.
