Although there are many extension plug-ins in the Chrome store that can improve the swiping of websites such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube while working, most of them are directly blocked and cannot be used within a certain period of time. Otherwise, the confirmation option will pop up, and the thinking time only lasts a moment, which may not be suitable for some people. The “Delayed Gratification” free Chrome extension plug-in recommended in this article will also block the specific website you set, but the method is to give you time to think, such as: a 15-second countdown, and then the website will be opened.

Lock me out after means that the website will be automatically locked after a few minutes. However, when it comes to locking, it actually means that it changes back to the countdown screen again, not the entire website is blocked. There are also four options: “2 minutes”, “5 minutes”, “10 minutes” and “20 minutes”:

In this way, the addition is successful. If you want to remove, just click Remove:
Then after entering Facebook, this countdown screen will pop up first, and questions will be displayed below the seconds, such as: What is on your current to-do list? . After the seconds run out, the Facebook website will actually be opened:
Lock me out after I set it after 2 minutes, so I scrolled Facebook for 2 minutes. Clicking any function will open the countdown screen again. The problem below the second tree is also different:
