Simply tell Scroll Stop which websites to be active on, how far it should let you scroll on each, and whether you want Scroll Stop to close the distracting tab, clear it of all contents, or direct you to another website once you've hit your limit.

Very nice! Especially like the option of stopping after some number of screens. I installed this after reading "Stolen Focus" by Johann Hari. Infinite scroll is one of the devices some websites use to keep us engaged when we have better things to do.
