Mindful YT per Alpha

The Mindful Watching extension transforms your YouTube browsing experience by introducing a thoughtful pause before video playback. When you navigate to a YouTube video, the extension automatically interrupts the default autoplay, presenting a calming overlay that encourages intentional viewing. Users are greeted with a breathing exercise and a 60-second countdown, prompting reflection on whether they truly want to watch the selected content. This innovative tool helps combat mindless scrolling and video consumption, offering a moment of mindfulness in our often distracted digital world. With simple yet effective controls, you can either proceed with watching the video after the reflection period or choose to redirect back to YouTube home page, giving you greater control over your media consumption habits.
