Dopamine Blocker – break your Facebook habit

Hacker News

Hey everybody, I threw this together yesterday as a side project to make my first chrome extension. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dopamine-blocker/c... Dopamine Blocker is a tool to help break your social media addictions. Every time you visit your favorite social media site, your brain gets a hit of dopamine that keeps you coming back again and again. Dopamine Blocker attempts to breaks that cycle. Now, instead of getting a hit of dopamine when you visit the social media site, you will be faced with an annoying alarm and a rapidly moving page that is hard to read. Your brain won't get the dopamine you crave and you will hopefully stop subconsciously associating social media sites as a dopamine source. Currently works with: Facebook, Hacker News, Reddit, Twitter, and Youtube. Each site can be turned on and off in the options page for this extension. Let me know what you think!
