Mindful Internet Use: Prevent Mindless Browsing
Mindful Internet Use (MIU) is a Chrome Extension developed by henry.gondorff.miu that aims to address the issue of mindless browsing. Unlike other extensions that simply block websites, MIU takes a different approach by focusing on the root cause of the problem - the user's tendency to browse the web without intention.
The extension encourages users to be more intentional and mindful in their internet usage. It does this by reminding users to take a moment to breathe and presenting them with quotes that remind them of their values before allowing access to a listed website.
One notable aspect of MIU is its commitment to user privacy. The extension ensures that neither the quotes nor the list of mindless websites are sent anywhere - all data remains secure on the user's device.
If you find yourself struggling with mindless browsing and unintentional internet use, Mindful Internet Use could be a valuable tool to help you regain control over your online habits.
