About Timebox YouTube Blocker

Timebox YouTube Blocker helps you use YouTube intentionally instead of falling into endless sessions. YouTube is blocked by default. When you really need a break, click "Give me a break" to unlock YouTube for 20 minutes. You get three breaks per local day. Breaks cannot be stacked or extended. Once the daily limit is used, YouTube stays blocked until the next daily reset. Features: - Blocks youtube.com, youtu.be, YouTube embeds, and related YouTube video delivery domains. - Gives exactly three 20-minute breaks per day. - Shows a countdown timer while a break is active. - Re-blocks YouTube automatically when the timer ends. - Stores break state locally in Chrome.
