Extension summary
Do you have trouble resisting the urge to hit submit on that lengthy post before you've proofread it? Do you have a bad habit of blowing up that special someone's social media page? Thirst is the extension you need!
Thirst gives you the self-control you always wish you had. You simply set the amount of seconds you wish to wait before sending a message, and Thirst takes care of the rest. Don't come off as thirsty, use Thirst!
Directions: Click the blue T icon after installing the extension to set the amount of seconds to wait before sending a message and then click Set Delay to confirm. You can also enable and disable the extension from this menu. Clicking on any web page submit button will force a countdown before the message is sent. If you want to cancel the countdown because you need more time to make some corrections, click on the submit button again. Otherwise just let the timer hit zero to send the message. Changing tabs will not pause the countdown, so if you really want to make someone sweat, write a clever response, put a bunch of time on the clock, click send, and then go on about your browsing in a new tab.
Compatibility: Right now it only works on Reddit. Some of Facebook is functional but this is VERY beta, for bug reporting only for those who would like to help me out. It does not function for Messenger yet. I will be adding more functionality as well as compatibility to many more sites within the next year.
Sites I will be adding in the future, in no particular order:
- The most commonly used email clients, blogging platforms, and IRC web clients
- Youtube
- The whole Stack Exchange Network of sites
