Scroll Stop is a productivity extension designed to keep you focused on what's important. Choose all the sites you waste too much time on, and Scroll Stop will prevent you from browsing further than you tell it to on those sites.

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.

Scroll Stop does not store any information outside your computer, and is 100% ad-free. We don't track you, record your data, or do anything else nefarious. Scroll Stop is a simple solution to a common problem, with none of the marketing or tracking code that makes competing applications slow and bloated.

User reviews

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.
