Overview
🛑 TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR ATTENTION
Unscroll is a lightweight Chrome extension that instantly blocks infinite feed scrolling on the most addictive social media platforms — without locking you out of them.
You keep access to search, DMs, profiles, and posts. You just can't scroll into the void.
And when you try? Unscroll catches you — plays a custom sound alert and shows a pop-up reminder to snap you back to reality.

🔔 SCROLL ALERT SYSTEM (NEW IN v3.2)
Every time you try to scroll on a blocked site, Unscroll:
1. Plays a custom sound alert to snap you out of autopilot
2. Shows a slick animated pop-up in the corner of your screen
3. Rotates through reminder messages — keeping it human, not robotic
4. Clears automatically after 3 seconds — no clicks needed
It's a pattern interrupt built directly into your browser. No app switching, no timers — just instant accountability.

🧠 WHY INFINITE SCROLLING IS DESTROYING YOUR FOCUS
Social media platforms are engineered to exploit variable-reward psychology — the same mechanism as slot machines. Every scroll has a chance of delivering a dopamine hit: a like, a viral video, a hot take. Your brain can't stop.
Unscroll breaks that loop at the browser level — no willpower required.

🔒 PRIVACY FIRST
Unscroll never reads, stores, or transmits your browsing data. It has no remote servers. Your settings are stored locally using Chrome's built-in sync storage (chrome.storage.sync) — the same mechanism Chrome uses for bookmarks.
Permissions used:
• storage — to save your on/off preferences
• tabs — to apply your settings to open tabs instantly
• scripting — to inject the CSS that hides scroll content

🙋 WHO IS THIS FOR?
• Knowledge workers, freelancers, and remote teams losing hours to feeds
• Students and researchers who can't stop opening Instagram mid-study
• Parents who want guardrails without full site blockers
• Anyone building a healthier relationship with social media
