I noticed something about myself:

Every time I try to "limit" my time online, I fail.

Not because I don't know it's bad.
But because in the moment, I just ignore everything.

Timers, reminders, even screen time warnings — they don’t work once you're already hooked.

So I tried a different approach:

What if I just can't continue after a certain point?

I built a simple Chrome extension that:

• lets me set a limit (time or number of videos)
• blocks playback completely when I hit it
• shows when the limit resets

Right now it supports YouTube and Instagram, focusing on the most addictive parts.

Honestly, I'm still testing it on myself.

Curious:
Would something like this actually help you?
Or would you just uninstall it after a day?
