Seriously. Many of us access sites when we can, not necessarily when we want. I know there's a bypass feature, but being greeted by this kind of nannying reminder can come across as annoying, at the least, to a certain nocturnal group of folks (ex. hospital staff, parents of newborns, security guards, etc.).
- geoah 5y agoI don't think this is meant for such sites but I can def see a benefit for social, news, or other "addictive" sites that might be detrimental to people's mental health. IOS, Android, and at least Macos have the ability to help users restrict the time they spend on an application, but doing so on the web is not as simple. In chrome I'm using "Intention" which is a nice extension that does something similar but for only the sites I've added to a list. As long as the site has a way to allow me to still browse the site or even give me 15m more or something and then fade to black again I'd welcome this from many sites.
