Extension summary

Mindful Browsing is a productivity extension for Google Chrome that helps you stay focused on your task by targeting your mindless browsing habits. It offers a flexible policy that does not strictly forbid any content, but instead gives YOU the power over your browsing choices. You can still visit distracting websites after completing a small challenge, and if you really take the effort to do so, you are getting notified by the extension in a regular interval until all of the distracting content gets closed. Pleasant design, productivity quotes, or ability to specify your upcoming task are just a few of the convenience features you will have access to. Everything is for free and highly customizable.

Minimalist, simple and easy to use. It helps you pause and take stock of your choice before you visit a distracting site. A really great extension.

I love this approach to mindful browsing! All I need is to be reminded when I mindlessly search for distracting websites. However, when I reach a distracting websites, there is no reminder at all. Is this an error or I'm doing something wrong?

Achieves the perfect balance between being functional at improving your digital productivity, and being easy enough to get past when you want to relax. Highly recommended.
