Summary
Analyze keywords

There are extremely addicting websites that you may want to block for your digital wellbeing, but you can't actually block them entirely because you need some parts of them. You just want to block the algorithm-recommended feed!

For example, on Reddit, I want to be able to see individual posts so that I can get good answers to Google searches. But I don't want to ever see the homepage or subreddit pages, because those are a never-ending feed of content which is extremely addictive to me.

Right now, this only works on Reddit. I'll add more sites as needed!

User reviews
This is awesome! Thank you for making it. I used to do a timer for reddit but then I'd always disable it when I needed to click on a reddit link to Google something and I'd be back to doom scrolling. This is exactly what I was looking for!
