WaitBlock

Setup wait period for time-wasting sites.

WaitBlock - Control Your Web Time

WaitBlock is a unique Chrome extension designed to redirect your web browsing habits from time-wasting sites. While using WaitBlock, you'll be presented with a countdown when visiting flagged sites. The countdown transforms the instant gratification of accessing such sites into a tedious, unappealing chore. Over time, this results in a significant reduction in the unconscious desire to frequently visit these sites. Coupled with daily fascinating images reminding you of the world outside, WaitBlock is a beneficial tool in improving your productivity and time-management skills.

Great extension! I do, however, have an issue with images that are supposed to be visible during the timer. It is my first day with the extension to i'm not sure if it's just todays photo or all of them.

the best extension for reducing distractions, i installed several extension with same features, but some were less customizable , and most had a fatal flaw that you can change the tab and countdown will still continue, but this just perfect. thanks developer
