Extension summary

Name changed from "Link quarantine" to Delayed Browsing.

This extension adds a "delay page" between you and the links you click on. The idea is to make it harder to fall down rabbit holes.

Visiting any link you click on is delayed by 3 minutes. The window containing the delayed page must be the your active window. If you use tabs, the delayed tab has to be the front-most tab as well. This is to remove the possibility to open a bunch of tabs or windows and have all of their delays running in parallell.

The extension is at the moment not compatible with Google search result pages, i.e. links from Google search results are not delayed.

The extension does in itself not save any information about which pages you visit.

No options can be set, but this will perhaps be possible in a future version.
