Mind Bonanza

About

Mind Bonanza - Instead of mindlessly browsing sites - block them and meditate.

Stay focused and productive by blocking distracting websites. Unlike other extensions, Mind Bonanza truly respects your privacy with minimal permissions and zero data collection.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Why choose Mind Bonanza?

Most website blockers request invasive permissions to "read and change all your data on all websites." Mind Bonanza is different:

PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN
• No access to your browsing history
• No tracking or analytics
• No external servers or cloud storage
• All data stays on YOUR device
• Minimal permissions (only what's needed)
• Open source and transparent


Many competitors request broad host permissions that let them see everything you do online. We don't. Ever.
