Stop Scrolling Newsfeed for Facebook is a Chrome extension designed to help you stay focused while using Facebook. If you often find yourself distracted by Facebook's endless newsfeed when you just want to check groups or messages, this tool intervenes by hiding the newsfeed and encouraging productivity. Users can still access their newsfeed for a customizable short period, after which the extension gently reminds them to stop scrolling.

Key features include timer-based newsfeed blocking, the ability to customize how long you can view the feed, auto-scroll restoration to previous positions, and compatibility with Facebook Beta. The extension also intelligently detects playing videos to prevent closing the feed during playback, and it tracks your daily scrolling time. With frequent updates improving user experience and fixing bugs, Stop Scrolling Newsfeed is an ideal tool to minimize distraction and boost productivity on Facebook.

Doesn't do a thing. I've closed and reopened my browser but Facebook still works just fine.
