Webaholic Reminder: Break Free from Web Addiction
Webaholic Reminder is a free Chrome extension developed by wenyalintw. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools. This handy extension aims to help users who find themselves spending excessive time on the internet, by providing reminders to take breaks and limit their online activities.
The extension offers two main features to assist users in curbing their web addiction. First, users can set specific websites they are addicted to using regex expressions. For example, if you find yourself spending too much time on YouTube, Reddit, or Facebook, you can set these sites as triggers for reminders. Additionally, users can specify a timeout and idle time, allowing the extension to track the time spent on these sites accurately. The timer will pause if the user goes idle after the set idle time.
It is important to note that all settings, including the ON-OFF switch, apply only to new pages and reloads. Existing pages will continue to comply with the old settings. If the browser loads a page after the settings have been applied, it will be considered a new page.
The second feature of Webaholic Reminder is the annoying reminding functionality. When the timeout is reached, the extension will remind the user to stop wasting time. The user then has the option to either cancel the reminder or continue browsing. If the user cancels, the extension will remind them again after another timeout. However, if the user chooses to click "OK," the extension will automatically close the tab, helping them break free from their web addiction.
