Simple and powerful solution. Thanks for sharing it!

Thanks for this wonderful extension! There wasn't anyhting that bothered me about it, but I have a suggestion: making the counter restart if you leave the page, and then start again when you come back to it, so you're forced to go through the 20 second timer without being able to open another distraction on your device.
