Description from store
Spend less time on distracting sites like Facebook and Youtube with various tools like news feed blockers, comment hiders, and more; see which ones work best for you!
HOW IT WORKS
Tell HabitLab which sites you want to spend less time on. We support most popular sites like Facebook, Youtube, Reddit, Buzzfeed, Netflix, etc - you can also add any site you want.
Each time you visit those sites, we will intelligently choose an intervention (which use techniques such as hiding your news feed, hiding comments, pausing videos) to help you reduce your time on the site. If you don’t like an intervention, you can choose to disable it.
HabitLab learns which interventions work best for you, and uses this to more effectively help you reduce your time online.
ABOUT
HabitLab is an open-source project developed by the Stanford HCI Group. You can find source code at https://github.com/habitlab/habitlab
PERMISSIONS
Chrome will ask you for the following permissions when you install. Here’s how we use them:
* “Read and Write Data on All Websites”: We need this permission to change the appearance of pages deploy interventions on the sites you choose to reduce your time spent on.
* “Show Notifications”: We use notifications to show you a daily progress summary on how you have been achieving your goals.
* “Browsing History”: We use your browsing history to determine how much time you’ve spent on sites in the past, so we can measure how much time you’ve been saving.
PRIVACY AND DATA
You can optionally help us improve HabitLab by sending us anonymized data about the effectiveness of interventions. You can opt-out of sharing any data when you first set up HabitLab. See https://github.com/habitlab/habitlab/wiki/Privacy

- (2023-04-15) Hamdi Bel Hadj Hassine: Great extension. Plenty of customizable tools to block or monitor your web browsing.
- (2023-03-20) Alex: Doesn't work
- (2021-03-02) Jheiden Maveric G. Damasco: It's good for tracking your habits and getting exercise.
- (2020-12-23) Bryan Wall: Extension is broken on Chrome (and Edge) 87, and doesn't seem to be maintained anymore. It appears that this extension was developed as part of someone's graduate school project and is no longer being actively maintained. Most of the "nudge" features are broken in the latest versions of Chrome which makes the extension mostly useless. Many issues have been opened through their recommended bug reporting process on Github but no one seems to be monitoring them anymore.
- (2020-10-18) Daniel: Only 2 or so nudges work - the rest give the following error [Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'dest' of null]. Using Brave as a browser.
- (2020-09-15) Konstantin K.: Probably best of its kind. (UPD. Unfortunately it stopped working on Twitter and some other sites for me)
- (2020-04-06) Jeremiah England: Probably great in its time, but currently is not maintained. The last commit to the repository was in June 2019 (as of Apr 2020). It's broken many places on the current version of Chrome. Only a few of the nudges work. repository: https://github.com/habitlab/habitlab
- (2019-06-11) Linh Chi Lý: Great extension. I love it, thank u so much developers!
- (2019-04-03) Rah: Its great, i really hope you can keeep it up and it gets more popular so we can support you on it
- (2019-03-29) Jean-François Racine: Had to uninstall it. Was draining my battery.
- (2019-02-06) Lohengrin Percival: Does not work.
- (2019-01-29) Benjamin Winig: This is the best productivity extension I have seen so far. It allows you to select "nudges" to control time spent on specific sites. Instead of blocking a site entirely, these nudges allow you to control your own usage through reminders, timers, and extra confirmation before playing a video on certain sites. Everyone who wastes more time than they would like to online needs to try this.
- (2019-01-19) Ref C.: This is honestly amazing! Perfect for better productivity. This needs to get more popular to help avoid distractions.
- (2018-12-05) Shivang P Swain: This is an amazing tool. IDK, how it is still not wildly popular.
- (2018-10-22) Jko Ggl: Excellent extension
- (2018-08-12) Jonathan Smith: Very good extension for increasing awareness of my browsing habits
- (2018-08-01) A Google User: Great! Except not all nudges are activated at once and it's a little confusing to use. But lose the functionality and concept.
- (2018-03-21) Easy to stay and get organized. Stop wasting time on stupidity, with any site. Also like that it displays how much time I've wasted on any site. Great for parents too! Can't recommend it enough!
- (2018-01-16) Aleksandar Pavic: I really love funny gifs when I close tabs. Highly recommended!
