Take back control. A browser plugin to reduce doomscrolling.
Scroll too far on a blacklisted website, and you'll be prompted with one of a small selection of inspirational messages. You can customize those messages to your heart's content, making them as positive or as mean spirited as you need.
You can also whitelist parts of a website, for example to permit access to /r/YourHobbySubreddit, while blocking the rest of reddit.
If you really need to, you can click the "It's important" button to see the content.
No data is collected by this extension for the developer.
If your browser is configured to synchronize addon settings, this feature will be used to share settings across all logged in instances of that browser. You should review your browser vendor's settings and privacy policy.
This repo assumes that make, yarn, zip, and tar are available on the
path.

The build system is a touch messy due to rollUp limitations. vite.config.ts
builds the options and popup ui as a module. vite.cs.config.ts builds the
content scripts as an IIFE module because content scripts cannot be modules.
An additional pair of config files, vite.chrome.config.ts and
vite.chrome.cs.config.ts are used for the Chrome build.
RollUp does not allow for these outputs to be represented in the same config file, so workarounds have been implemented
To run a watch operation:
yarn watch -t [firefox|chrome]
This will run scripts/watch.js, which will launch a watch operation on both config files. Firefox is the default.
To build, without packaging, use:
make yarn-[firefox|chrome]
To build with packaging, use
make [firefox|chrome]
To build and package everything, use
make
The current build system does NOT support HMR.
