Regulates time spent on unproductive sites

Works by starting a timer every time user navigates to watchlist site (can be configured with gear button on popup). All watchlist sites are blocked when the timer is depleted.

It is recommended that you include only the domain name + .com (or whatever else is applicable) in your watchlist. Setting "wikipedia.org/Cats" rather than "wikipedia.org" as a watchlist site will make Drill Sergeant ignore any other sites on Wikipedia that don't have "wikipedia.org/Cats" contained in their URL.

Settings explained:

Timeout - duration of the timer that blocks all watchlist sites once depleted. It recharges when time is spent away from all watchlist sites.

Censor duration - duration that websites are blocked for once the Timeout timer is depleted.

Recharge rate - the rate at which the Timeout timer recharges. (e.g. the default of 0.1*Real Time means that spending 35m away from all watchlist sites replenishes the timer by 3.5m).

Extension safety

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.

Drill Sergeant requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Drill Sergeant may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
