Stop Wasting Your Time – A Content Focus Extension**

Ever opened YouTube to look up one thing… and then, an hour later, realized you’ve been scrolling Shorts with no memory of why you came?
It’s not a lack of willpower — it’s design. These platforms are built to pull you in and keep you there.

Stop Wasting Your Time is your digital focus guardian. It doesn’t block social media — it upgrades it. The extension removes only the parts designed to hijack your attention, while keeping everything you actually use.

What It Does

Think of it as a precision filter for your attention:
• Cleans up YouTube by removing homepage recommendations, Shorts, and “next video” traps
• Declutters Facebook by removing the Watch section and endless feed distractions

You still use the platforms — just without the time-wasting noise.
