Page Load Delay

Page Load Delay helps you break impulsive browsing habits by adding a countdown timer before loading specified websites.

How It Works When you navigate to a configured domain, the extension intercepts the request and displays a visual countdown. Once the timer reaches zero, the page loads automatically. This added friction gives you a moment to reconsider whether you really need to visit that site.

Key Features

• Multiple Domain Groups - Create separate groups of websites, each with its own delay duration
• Flexible Delays - Configure delays from 1 to 300 seconds per group
• Subdomain Matching - Adding "twitter.com" automatically covers "www.twitter.com" and all other subdomains
• Clean Countdown UI - A minimal, dark-themed countdown page displays the remaining time
• No Delay by Default - Pages not in any configured group load instantly

Privacy & Permissions This extension requires "Access your data for all websites" permission. Here's why:

• The extension must intercept page requests to show the countdown timer
• Since you can configure any domain, broad access is required
• Firefox's webRequestBlocking API requires this permission

What the extension actually does:

• Checks if the URL matches your configured domains
• Redirects matching requests to the countdown page
• That's it — no data is read, collected, stored, or transmitted The extension is fully open source. Review the code at GitHub.

Example Setup

• Group 1 (30s): twitter.com, reddit.com, instagram.com
• Group 2 (60s): youtube.com, tiktok.com
• Group 3 (10s): news.ycombinator.com

Perfect for productivity, digital wellbeing, and breaking doomscrolling habits.
