I like the idea, but it is very annoying that it shows up again when switching between views within Facebook. If I'm already on Facebook and click on something, I shouldn't be asked why I am on Facebook... Also, there needs to be a fourth answer to the "why" question: I'm often there to write/post/share something, but that isn't an option.

Is thee an option for doing this with YouTube and other sites? I really like this simple mental block.

Add more options. I'm one who opens Facebook curious as to any notification have I received? Am I missing out on someone wanting to talk/share something with me? And I believe most other people do that too. This link proves why: https://www.1843magazine.com/features/the-scientists-who-make-apps-addictive Contact me at tayyab.abdussami@gmail.com if needed.

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
