    I have the phone app for this, and I was very excited when I discovered the extension. While it doesn't have (or need) all the functionalities of the phone app - although I believe they are working on adding more - it does the main thing it is supposed to do (delay visiting a website). For me, this was honestly a huge deal. Just blocking websites using other extensions didn't work for me, I ended up unblocking them because I still wanted to visit the site itself. With this, it actively makes me reflect on why I want to visit the site, or if I want to visit it at all. I end up spending a lot less time on these websites, which I am very grateful for.

    Overall, this extension has been a very big deal for me, just as the phone app has.

    By the way, if you have similar issues with opening up apps on your phone and you have IOS - I highly recommend going to check out the phone app.

    Edit in response to Frederik: Yes, I agree! The extension as-is works very well, being able to add websites to the list with a couple clicks, adjust exercise duration, and configure intentional switching is great and they all work seamlessly. Adding additional functionalities on top is just icing on the cake :)

    Thanks a lot for your feedback! You are right, we’ll improve the extension over time to add features from the iOS app. But we had to start somewhere, and I also thought that the extension as-is is already quite good in keeping you away to end up on distracting websites all the time. Thanks for understanding, and thanks for your support!

    Great idea and execution, though the intentional switching is sometimes a little glitchy.

    It would be good if in addition to the deep breath, there was also some additional, dynamic friction introduced. For example, the buttons ('I do not want to visit X' / 'I want to visit X') could shift position to a different corner of the screen each time the extension is displayed, in order to actively engage the user at the point of making the choice. As it is, I find that already I am in the habit of just waiting the 5 seconds then automatically clicking the 'I want to visit X' button, which somewhat undermines the goal of the extension.

    This is my problem, of course, but adding a little extra, dynamic friction of this kind to the interstitial page after the breath would strengthen the question of whether I *really* want to visit the website -- and thus enhance the value of the extension.

    Thanks, great feedback! We’ll work on making the intervention effect event better in upcoming updates! In regards to the intentional website switching, could you describe the problem in a bit more detail? Feel free to reach out via support@one-sec.app!

    Fantastic extension! I just got it today and I'm already saving so much time. I would love to be able to set my intentions the way I can on my iphone though

    Thanks for your feedback! The browser extensions are fairly new, so we dont have all the features available here yet. But we’re working on bringing them over step by step :)
