Extension summary

A simple website blocker to help you use the web with purpose.

Purpose makes it easy to stay off distracting websites. However, when you really need to access something, say - an events page on Facebook or a tutorial on Youtube - Purpose is forgiving enough for you to get through. You need to provide Purpose a good reason first, allowing you to be more intentional about your web use.

This is an open-source project. Code can be found at https://github.com/hdavidzhu/purpose

很棒! 試了各式各樣的擴充功能,終於找到自己想要的功能了, 許多擴充功能只是把網站鎖起來,或是限制總用量,還有設定一堆行程表...但還是造成了焦慮和苦惱...和更多選擇障礙 其實不如每一次都先估計自己大概要花多少時間去做,以及要做甚麼,對於改善網路習慣有更大幫助~所以非常謝謝寫了這款擴充功能的開發者~!
