Blockers will not solve this problem.
Right now the pattern is something like this:
Feel bored/upset/angry --> want to get away from this unpleasant feeling --> open up a tab --> scroll
If you install a blocker you only catch yourself at when you open that tab. It's too late in the process. You've already made the decision to do it so you'll just disable the blocker.
Instead, you have to find a way to intervene earlier and deal with the feelings. It's much easier said than done. You might not even be consciously aware of them at the moment.
