  ⚠️ FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE: This extension charges a real $5.00 penalty fee to your connected credit card every time you visit a blocked website.
  
  FOCUS OR PAY. It must hurt, otherwise you will not dedicate as you should.
  
  Willpower is overrated. Consequences are effective.
  
  Most site blockers are easy to ignore. You turn them off when you get bored. Paylov is different. It turns your bad habits into a financial loss. It is the only dopamine detox that hits you where it hurts: your wallet.
  
  STOP DOOMSCROLLING If you want to waste time on social media, gambling, or distractions, it’s going to cost you. Put a price on your attention and watch your productivity skyrocket.
  
  HOW IT WORKS:
  - Connect: Link your credit card securely via Stripe.
  - Block: Add your "Vice List" (e.g., Instagram, X, YouTube Shorts).
  - Bet: If you try to access these sites, Paylov blocks them instantly.
  - Penalty: If you bypass the block or trigger the trap, you are automatically charged $5.00.
  
  FEATURES:
  - Hardcore Anti-Doomscroll: The financial pain breaks the dopamine loop instantly.
  - Stripe Secured: We use Stripe for all payments. We never see your credit card number.
  - Privacy First: Your browsing history stays on your device. We only check the specific URL you blocked to enforce the penalty.
  - Zero Lag: Built with Chrome's modern DeclarativeNetRequest API for instant blocking without slowing down your browser.
  
  WHO IS THIS FOR?
  - Entrepreneurs who know time is money.
  - Students who need a nuclear option for focus.
  - High-performers building a "monk mode" routine.
  - Are you ready to bet on yourself? Install Paylov today.
