  Doomscroll Blocker
  
  A Chrome extension that interrupts mindless scrolling on social feeds before the algorithm wins.
  
  What It Does:
  Doomscroll Blocker monitors how far you scroll on timeline feeds and how many short-form videos you watch. When you hit a limit that you set for yourself, a full-screen friction card interrupts you and forces you to make an intentional choice before continuing.
  
  Features:
  - Scroll pixel counter — set a distance threshold for timeline-based sites
  - Short-video swipe counter — set a swipe limit for short videos
  - Soft Mode — press and hold for 3 seconds to dismiss the interruption
  - Hard Mode — a timed break is the only way out
  - Break timer — 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 min or custom duration
  - Draggable mini-pill — shows your remaining break time on any page
  - Customizable site list — add any website, choose Feed, Shorts, or both
  - Per-session stats — scroll distance and video count shown in the popup
  - Quick pause — pause for 5 minutes without setting a full break
  
  Monitored by Default:
  Popular social feeds and short-form video platforms.
  
  How to Use:
  1. Click the extension icon to open the popup
  2. Set your scroll limit (pixels) and swipe limit using the sliders
  3. Browse normally — the extension runs in the background
  4. When you hit your limit, a card will appear:
     - Soft Mode: press and hold the button for 3 seconds to continue
     - Hard Mode: take a break — choose a duration and wait it out
  5. A green mini-pill shows your remaining break time as you browse
  
  Privacy:
  All data stays in your browser. No tracking, no analytics, no external servers.
  - Scroll counts and video counts are session-only (reset on page reload)
  - Settings are stored locally via your browser's built-in storage
  - No page content is ever read, stored, or transmitted

  Doomscroll Blocker - Stop Scrolling & Focus
  
  WHAT DOES IT DO?
  Doomscroll Blocker is a smart productivity tool and website blocker that physically interrupts you when you have been scrolling for too long. It tracks how far down you scroll on timeline feeds and how many short-form videos you swipe through. When you hit a personal limit, a full-screen block instantly covers your feed. To continue, you must make a conscious choice: either take a mindful pause (Soft Mode) or lock yourself out completely to focus (Hard Mode).
  
  WHY SHOULD YOU INSTALL IT?
  If you have ever opened a website just to check one thing, and suddenly realized an hour has passed in a scrolling trance—this extension is for you. 
  
  Modern algorithms are designed to hijack your attention. Doomscroll Blocker gives it back. You should install this to:
  - Break Bad Habits: Stop the autopilot cycle of endless scrolling when you are bored.
