Install the extension to apply your blocks

A browser extension that lets you trip the distracting parts of the web. Kill YouTube Shorts without killing YouTube. Cut social feeds but keep messaging. You decide what stays on.
You open YouTube to watch one video and 45 minutes later you're deep in Shorts you didn't ask for.
You check the news for five minutes and surface an hour later feeling worse than before.
You close Instagram, then immediately reopen it out of habit. The feed is designed to keep you there.
It's not a willpower problem. These apps are engineered to hold your attention.
Circuit Breaker gives you the circuit breaker they won't.
Most blockers are all-or-nothing. Circuit Breaker lets you keep what's useful and trip what's toxic. Kill YouTube Shorts and recommendations but keep search and subscriptions. Cut Twitter's trending tab but keep DMs. Remove comment sections everywhere.
Each breaker controls one feature. Trip what you don't need. Keep what you do. It's your internet now.
Circuit Breaker works in your browser — not in apps. That's the point.
Delete the apps. Use the web versions instead. Then use Circuit Breaker to trip the parts designed to keep you scrolling — the algorithmic feeds, the autoplay, the infinite recommendations. You keep the useful parts (messaging, search, your subscriptions) without the addictive ones.
Apps are designed to bypass your self-control. The browser is where you trip them.
Trip entire categories like Social Media or Streaming. Or drill down — kill just YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or Twitter's trending tab.
Remove the apps that hijack your attention. Use the web versions instead, with Circuit Breaker controlling what you see. One click install for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
Tripped sites show a friendly page. Distracting features vanish. You're in control — not the algorithm.
Trip the breakers below. Each one controls a category of websites. Drill into any to trip individual sites and features.
