Tab Timeout

Tab Timeout is a Chrome extension that introduces a configurable delay before loading selected websites. The extension interrupts automatic browsing by displaying a short countdown along with a motivational quote. It also includes options for scheduling downtime (when the delay is disabled) and a temporary override for uninterrupted browsing. Features - Delay Before Navigation - When you try to open a blocked site (e.g., Reddit), the extension shows a delay page with a countdown and a motivational quote. This pause gives you a moment to consider your action. - Customizable Delay - Adjust the delay (in seconds) to suit your needs. - Manage Blocked Sites - Specify which websites should trigger the delay. Enter one domain per line (e.g., `reddit.com`). - Motivational Quotes - The delay page displays a motivational quote. You can choose to show quotes from all available categories, a specific category, or disable quotes entirely. - Scheduled Downtime - Set daily downtime schedules. For each day of the week, you can choose to disable the delay during specified hours (or for the entire day). - Temporary Downtime Override - Start a temporary override (default duration is 4 hours) to bypass the delay immediately. You can also stop this override when needed. - Smart Allowlisting - After you pass through the delay page to access a site, subsequent navigation within that site is not delayed. Usage 1. Blocked Site Navigation: When you open a new tab and type the address of a blocked website (for example, `https://www.reddit.com`), the extension intercepts the navigation and displays a delay page. 2. Delay Page Behavior: - A countdown timer starts. - A motivational quote is displayed based on your selected quote category. - There is a link to start temporary downtime immediately. 3. Temporary Downtime Override: - Use the override from the Options page or click the link on the delay page. - If an override is active, the extension will load the website immediately. - You must stop an active override before starting a new one. 4. Smart Allowlisting: Once you access a site after passing the delay, further navigation within that site is not delayed.
