Pause Before Social - Control Social Media Time & Reduce Scrolling

Pause Before Social is a lightweight browser extension designed to help you control time spent on social media and reduce mindless scrolling. Before opening selected social media websites, the extension shows a short pause with a countdown timer, giving you a moment to decide whether you actually want to visit the site.
