Blocker

A Firefox extension blocking to stop you from wasting days on infinite feeds.

It blocks domains for a selected period of time, by default it allows one 10 hour window every 3 days. So you don't go cold turkey, you will visit your addiction sources soon enough! Just not now.

And it's long enough in the future that all the essential (/s) articles and gossip will scroll away without ever being seen by you, freeing up some time to live your life.

If you ever have a moment of weakness, Blocker makes unblocking what you blocked once ust inconvenient enough to maybe not bother.

Testimony: having Mastodon blocked with a prototype version is how I managed to find the time to write this.

Recommended blocking: Wikipedia, Hacker News, Amazon.

A popup box showing that the page is unblocked for 12h every 3 days. There is a button to limit the site more.

Tribute

Thanks to all people behind Redirector, which I shamelessly stole.

Usage

  1. Download the git repo.
  2. Go to URL about:debugging.
  3. Click "This Firefox".
  4. Click "Load temporary addon"
  5. Select manifest.json.

WARNING: restarting Firefox will unload the extension.

Status

Works for me. Tested on Firefox. Some things might not work.

Happy to take contributions. Will refuse anything that interferes with how I use it (fork it).

Download Links

Can't be bothered to register on Mozilla. Feel free to.

Debugging

  1. Go to URL about:debugging.
  2. Click "Inspect".

Dark Theme

If you are a Firefox user and use a dark theme, you can add these lines to your userChrome.css file to make Blocker's extension button more visible:

/* Blocker button for dark Firefox themes */
toolbarbutton#toggle-button--redirectoreinaregilssoncom-redirector[image*="active"] { filter: invert(1) brightness(6); }
toolbarbutton#toggle-button--redirectoreinaregilssoncom-redirector[image*="disabled"] { filter: invert(1) brightness(2.5); }

If you don't know what the userChrome.css file is, or how to edit it, please look it up on a Firefox forum instead of asking about it in this repository. Thanks!
