Protecting My Attention at the Dopamine Carnival

I wish Chrome had timers for specific websites on mobile. I hate the all-or-nothing Chrome timer, it's ridiculous and so counter intuitive.

I’d also like more control over chrome autocomplete.

Most of the time that I get sucked into a website, it’s because autocomplete and muscle memory got me there without thinking. Every once in a while I’ll clean out my history cache and for a week or so I’ll find myself on the page of google search results for “re” or “fa”

Agreed, and their setting to turn it off entirely doesn't work on Pixel at all.

You can hold-press over an autocompleted URL to delete it, which has much less friction than clearing your history.

Chrome does have this feature on mobile, but perhaps not on your mobile.

Pixel phones (at least) have this.

this is the sole reason i default to Firefox on mobile as it allows extensions. And install a website restriction ext like Leechblock [1].
