Say, could you say more about the exact pattern of how you do this?

I've noticed that I have a few "distraction" sites that I'll visit. And then when I hit the end, I'll loop back in hopes of another hit of novelty. What strikes me is how ingrained it is; if I'm not careful I'll find myself on, e.g., Facebook, with no conscious intent. I've even caught myself having a feeling of boredom with what I'm looking at and typing "facebook.com" in the address bar while I'm on Facebook. Is this familiar?

I ask because I'm thinking of building a WebExtension to notice and interrupt this cycle, so that I have to consciously want to use a distraction site. But I'm not sure how big the audience is.

I use news feed eradicator with Facebook. It has solved it for me.

This, me, all the time.

I would use such an extension.
