If you often find yourself scrolling social media and then regret the lost time, this chrome extension will block those sites and only unlock them if you scream embrassingly about your lack of discipline.
«I am a loser.» Yeah, that’s what you need to yell to unlock a few minutes of social browsing time.
The ills of social media are pretty well-known, and the impacts are so well-documented that Meta, YouTube, and TikTok are now facing a lawsuit for making their platforms addictive. Australia has already banned social media for teens under 16 years of age, and multiple other countries are considering similar restrictions. And let’s face it: social media can lead you into a doomscrolling spiral that is an utter waste of time and energy.
Enter Pankaj Tanwar, a developer who just created a Chrome extension that will make you scream at your computer in order to unblock social media sites. “A productivity tool that blocks social media websites and makes you say embarrassing things to unlock them,” says the extension’s description on Google’s web store.
