Preview of Just 5 Minutes

Just 5 Minutes by rhn

You said ‘just 5 minutes.’ Now your scroll wheel agrees. Gives you a short allowance on distracting feeds, then locks scrolling for the rest of the session.

About this extension
You open Reddit, X, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or Facebook for “just five minutes”… and somehow two hours disappear. This extension fixes that.It gives you a shared timer across all your tabs on those sites. You get your chosen amount of time (default is 5 minutes). When it runs out, the extension completely blocks the scroll wheel, trackpad gestures, and keyboard scrolling keys (Space, Page Up/Down, arrows, Home, End). You can still click links or close the tab, but the endless mindless scroll is over.Features:Customizable session length from 1 to 60 minutes
Works across all open tabs of the sites you pick
Choose exactly which sites to track (Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok, X, YouTube — easy to add more)
Whitelist any domains you want to keep normal scrolling on
Live timer visible in the popup and settings page
Everything stays 100% local in your browser

If you’re tired of losing time to feeds, give it a try. Set the timer, get your five minutes, then get back to your day.
