Add-on summary
A simple extension which allows a user to input either domains (eg: reddit.com) or specific paths of domains (eg: youtube.com/shorts) to apply a time limiting functionality against for active tab usage. It's similar to a Pomodoro Timer, but targeting specific websites, even exclusively specific paths for websites.
Users specify a time limit in seconds which applies to all blacklisted sites (timer carries over between blacklisted sites - so if visiting two different blacklisted sites back to back, the timer does not start to count down/reset and counts both sites under a single blacklisted timer). Users also specify a reset timer which will only count when visiting non-blacklisted sites. When the reset timer expires, the main blacklisted site timer will reset.
After the blacklisted/domain timer expires, a popup page telling the user to do something else will appear. This behavior will continue until the reset timer expires, via spending time on non-blacklisted sites.
IMPORTANT: Settings changed in the extension preferences page will not take effect until the extension restarts! Read below for more information!
