Intention - Stop Mindless Browsing Firefox Add-on
Intention - Stop Mindless Browsing is a Firefox add-on that helps cultivate a habit of focus. It intervenes as you attempt to visit distracting websites, prompts you to set a time limit for browsing, and pauses the browsing once the time limit expires. The goal is to reduce unconscious scrolling and help manage the temptation of 'just 5 minutes' turning into lost hours of productivity.
