## Description

This Firefox add-on adds a small pop-up feature that curbs doomscrolling. The feature also uses instant UX to help avoid doomscrolling. The code was made using DeepSeek and was tweaked to fit it more effective. The pop-up is also progressive, to make sure that the website is still functional while the add-on is not overly annoying. The add-on is still very static right now.
