Features & Capabilities

This is an anti-procrastination tool that takes a softer approach than most site blocking addons. Those don't work because you eventually just uninstall or disable them to continue your guilty pleasure. Rather than blocking you, this extension slows you down before you can visit time-wasting websites like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or Reddit.

When you try to visit one of those websites, it asks you how long you'd like to browse it for. Then you must wait 20 seconds before you can gain access. This helps break the dopamine loop associated with easily visiting these websites multiple times a day. When the time you defined is up, the tab closes.

Go to settings to set websites you don't want to visit, like: https://x.com

If you still want to be able to see certain pages of that website (say someone sends you a tweet), you can whitelist them with wildcards, like this: https://x.com/*/status

Is Take a Breath Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Take a Breath requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Take a Breath may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
