Features & Capabilities

This browser extension aims to get you out of the state of mindlessly scrolling on those websites that are designed to get you to scroll like a mindless zombie.

When entering such a website, you will see a window, that will remind you to only stay on the website as long as you enjoy your stay. You will estimate how long you would actually like to stay on this website and then proceed with your visit on the website as usual. After the time is up, the reminding window will show again. This is the moment where you should ask yourself if you really still enjoy your time, or if you have already turned into a scrolling zombie.

Click the toolbar-icon to it to add/remove doomscroll websites or access.

Is Doomscroll Control Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Doomscroll Control requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Doomscroll Control is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
