I didn't set it up in the extension store or anything - it's probably not "ready for prime time".

But here's what it did, the first iteration (I've already had it make some modifications):

QUESTION/PROMPT What's the easiest way to write a chrome extension? I'd like it to do the following

ANSWER from AI (deep seek) Here's a simple Chrome extension that implements your distraction-limiting feature:

distraction-delay/ ├── manifest.json ├── background.js ├── content.js └── popup.html

{ "manifest_version": 3, "name": "Distraction Delay", "version": "1.0", "permissions": ["webNavigation", "tabs"], "background": { "service_worker": "background.js" }, "content_scripts": [{ "matches": ["<all_urls>"], "js": ["content.js"], "run_at": "document_start" }] } 3. content.js (runs on every page) javascript Copy code

// Show overlay on page load const overlay = document.createElement('div'); overlay.style = position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; background: rgba(0,0,0,0.8); color: white; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; flex-direction: column; font-size: 2em; z-index: 9999;; document.documentElement.appendChild(overlay);

let seconds = 30; updateTimer();

const timer = setInterval(() => { seconds--; updateTimer(); if (seconds <= 0) { clearInterval(timer); overlay.remove(); } }, 1000);

function updateTimer() { overlay.innerHTML = <div>Please wait ${seconds} seconds...</div> <div>(This is to prevent distraction)</div> ; } 4. background.js (handles navigation) javascript Copy code

chrome.webNavigation.onBeforeNavigate.addListener((details) => { if (details.frameId === 0) { // Only main frame chrome.scripting.executeScript({ target: {tabId: details.tabId}, files: ['content.js'] }); } });

To install: Go to chrome://extensions Enable "Developer mode" Click "Load unpacked" and select your extension folder How it works: The overlay appears immediately when a page starts loading A 30-second countdown is shown After the timer expires, the overlay disappears Works for both typed URLs and clicked links The overlay prevents interaction with the page until the time is up Would you like me to modify any part of this, such as the styling or timer duration?
