Site Cooldown
Extension Actions
- Live on Store
Stop getting addicted to websites. Extension puts site on cooldown (temporarily blocks) after you visit it.
# Site Cooldown
Stop getting addicted to sites like news/memes/etc.
Extension works like this:
Once you open a website - you have *10 min* to browse it. Then the site is on cooldown (blocked) for *3 hours*.
Both browsing and cooldown timers are configurable.
## Use
1. Open the extension popup and select **Settings**.
2. Add a hostname or full website URL.
3. Adjust each site's exploration and cooldown duration as needed.
4. The first visit starts the exploration timer. When it expires, the site enters cooldown.
## Details
- Default Browse time: **10 minutes**
- Default Cooldown: **3 hours**
- First visit to a website starts its exploration time window.
- All matching tabs share the same timer.
- When exploration expires, matching tabs are redirected to a local block page.
- A hostname includes its subdomains. `example.com` therefore includes `www.example.com` and `news.example.com`.
- Timers use stored absolute timestamps, so closing Chrome, restarting the computer, or sleep does not reset them.
## Notes
- Chrome internal pages such as `chrome://settings` cannot be controlled.
- Extension will work in Incognito mode only if you enable **Allow in Incognito** in settings this extension.
