The name MIU, short for Mindful Internet Use, can be viewed as the antonym of the Psychological term Problematic Internet Use (PIU). Problematic Internet Use is described as ”an inability to control one's use of the Internet which leads to negative consequences in daily life”. Unlike many other extensions, MIU will not provide a quick fix by blocking websites. MIU will instead focus on the reason behind the problem, the user's tendency to browse the web mindlessly. By repeatedly encouraging a more intentional and mindful usage of the internet this extension will help the user to quit undesirable internet use. The goal of this extension is to give its user a tool to help them avoid mindless browsing and unintentional internet use. This will be done by encouraging the user to breathe and present quotes that remind the user what they value before allowing the user to access a listed website. Neither your quotes nor list of mindless websites will be sent anywhere, the data will remain secure on your own device. Source code: https://github.com/IvarssonAndreas/mindful-internet-use

In my experience, I have found the "Delayed Gratification" extension to be insufficient in limiting my time on distracting websites, as it was easy to bypass by simply opening another tab. However, I have since switched to a different extension that completely resets itself if I attempt to bypass it, and I have noticed that it has helped me to limit my time on distracting websites. One of the features I appreciate about this extension is its ability to reset itself, which has helped me stay focused and productive. However, I have noticed that there is room for improvement, as the extension sometimes repeats itself entirely after finishing a full cycle. I hope that the developers will be able to address this issue in future updates. Overall, I highly recommend this extension for anyone looking to limit their time on distracting websites, as it has been effective in helping me to stay on track and avoid distractions. With some improvements to its functionality, I believe that it has the potential to become an even more valuable tool for productivity and focus.
It is good but along with the URL it should have the block by words feature...It would be more useful in that way
Great extension with just the right amount of features! Would love to see option to replace the background to inspiring photos (unsplash) to remind user of the world and opportunity out there
