Description from store
Tab Timeout is a Chrome extension that introduces a configurable delay before loading selected websites. The extension interrupts automatic browsing by displaying a short countdown along with a motivational quote. It also includes options for scheduling downtime (when the delay is disabled) and a temporary override for uninterrupted browsing.
Features
- Delay Before Navigation -
When you try to open a blocked site (e.g., Reddit), the extension shows a delay page with a countdown and a motivational quote. This pause gives you a moment to consider your action.
- Customizable Delay -
Adjust the delay (in seconds) to suit your needs.
- Manage Blocked Sites -
Specify which websites should trigger the delay. Enter one domain per line (e.g., `reddit.com`).
- Motivational Quotes -
The delay page displays a motivational quote. You can choose to show quotes from all available categories, a specific category, or disable quotes entirely.
- Scheduled Downtime -
Set daily downtime schedules. For each day of the week, you can choose to disable the delay during specified hours (or for the entire day).
- Temporary Downtime Override -
Start a temporary override (default duration is 4 hours) to bypass the delay immediately. You can also stop this override when needed.
- Smart Allowlisting -
After you pass through the delay page to access a site, subsequent navigation within that site is not delayed.
Usage
1. Blocked Site Navigation:
When you open a new tab and type the address of a blocked website (for example, `https://www.reddit.com`), the extension intercepts the navigation and displays a delay page.
2. Delay Page Behavior:
- A countdown timer starts.
- A motivational quote is displayed based on your selected quote category.
- There is a link to start temporary downtime immediately.
3. Temporary Downtime Override:
- Use the override from the Options page or click the link on the delay page.
- If an override is active, the extension will load the website immediately.
- You must stop an active override before starting a new one.
4. Smart Allowlisting:
Once you access a site after passing the delay, further navigation within that site is not delayed.
