Very often, you visit a social media site with a specific purpose in mind: to find a contact, locate a particular post, or gather information. What typically follows is quite common: You begin scrolling through the feed, and two minutes later, you close the site, only to remember your original intention.
Browser extensions like
News Feed Eradicator remove the news feed content but allow you to use the rest of the page. For example, if I open LinkedIn, I see white space where usually the posts would show up, but I can still look up contacts or specific posts via search.
Such a browser extension forces you to take an active action to see the newsfeed, thus reduces time spent doomscrolling. It takes just one minute to set up, but will save you many hours.
In case you are not using Chrome, search for "[your browsers name] block social media feed extension".
