Description from store
Scroll Stop is a productivity extension designed to keep you focused on what's important. Choose all the sites you waste too much time on, and Scroll Stop will prevent you from browsing further than you tell it to on those sites.
Simply tell Scroll Stop which websites to be active on, how far it should let you scroll on each, and whether you want Scroll Stop to close the distracting tab, clear it of all contents, or direct you to another website once you've hit your limit.
Scroll Stop does not store any information outside your computer, and is 100% ad-free. We don't track you, record your data, or do anything else nefarious. Scroll Stop is a simple solution to a common problem, with none of the marketing or tracking code that makes competing applications slow and bloated.
Spend less time scrolling, and more time working!
Scroll Stop is a project of indigoBox Studios.

- (2023-08-31) Jasper Fadden: Incredibly clever designed extension that fills a different niche than others. A shame it's so unknown, as it works incredibly well with a set of other blockers when you can't block specific sties entirely.
- (2023-05-03) Paul Tucker: Love it! So many extensions focus on blocking, which doesn't work for a lot of the platforms and tools I need to use daily—I just want to be alerted to when I've slipped from purposeful usage into the doomscroll whirlpool. This extension does exactly that, and does it well. This extension won't change your behavior or prevent you from changing the settings. It'll just help you enforce the good habits you've already been purposeful in creating. Yes, a time setting might be helpful, but as some who's job is to work with distracting social media platforms, time is less important to me than the amount of scrolling. I can spend a lot of time on social media and be working, but if I'm doomscrolling, I'm likely not working—regardless of its been only a few minutes.
- (2023-03-05) David P: The positive: - It has basic functionality to limit screen time usage (it's about all you can say) The not so positive - It has really limits that are far from practical or even common anywhere else, there are not standard on any productivity too.No one tracks webpages in pixels and as for screens. Given that webpages can be endless is a screen the one on my desktop or phone. - there are no options to specify types of webpages. The strong recommendation - Put in minutes for time limits really, it is the most basic logical unit of measure and after all is it not time that we are looking to measure. - It has potential to be really good but for now I will delete it, it is (sorry) quite bad as a productivity tool. - Build more useful functionality into the app, at least time in minutes as the most basic improvement.

- (2019-02-11) Krisztián Köves: I first tried this extension a while ago and now started using it again after looking through some extensions I'd disabled a while ago... The updated design is great, and you can now select the number of screens to limit yourself to when scrolling - although when you revisit the settings page for the same site later, it shows the equivalent pixel value instead of the "screen count" you had set previously. I like the various options of what to do when you hit your limit: there's a nice range from slightly annoying (showing you a dialog that says you've been scrolling for too long) to stop-you-in-your-tracks (closing the tab completely). Very nice extension overall, definitely would suggest it for anyone who's trying to kill an addiction to social media sites or anything like that.
- (2019-02-04) Jess Colopy: As someone who gets caught scrolling on Facebook and Twitter mindlessly for hours, I love the concept of this. And I love that there are different options for what happens when you've reached your scroll limit. The one problem I had was the use of pixels to measure when to stop scrolling. For someone in tech or design this wouldn't be an issue, but as an average user, I honestly don't know how many pixels is too many pixels to scroll. I set it to the default 500 and got past 2-3 Facebook posts before it cut me off. I feel like offering other choices for how to measure, like time, or number of "full screen" web pages you pass would help. Otherwise I think this is a great extension and definitely makes me realize how often I spend time on websites I have no desire to really be on out of habit.
