Extension summary
Crackbook Revival is an open source fork/modification of the original Crackbook extension by Gintautas Miliauskas (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/crackbook/nbgjmohekjolcgemlolblankocjlgalf)
This is a Chrome extension for discouraging use of attention-sucking websites such as Facebook or Reddit. The idea behind Crackbook is that delaying access to the website is more effective than straight blocking because you are less likely to just disable the block after a while.
The extension will delay every hit to blacklisted site. The delay is just a few seconds initially, but it increases slightly on every hit.
Revival Changes:
- Removed attempted reporting of anonymous usage data (which wasn't working anyway due to original site being offline).
- Delay timer resets on specified intervals (which was already in the original repository but was not published on the store).
- Hide scrollbars until the content is revealed.
- Some fixes for the history graph.
