Stop Scrolling — last updated May 2026

What this extension does

Stop Scrolling is a Safari extension that overlays content on YouTube and Instagram to discourage mindless scrolling. It reads page content solely to identify and cover short-form video feeds, suggested posts, and similar distracting elements.

Data we collect

None. The extension does not collect, record, transmit, or share any data about you or your browsing activity — not your identity, not the pages you visit, not the content you see.

Local storage

The extension stores four settings on your device using the browser's built-in local storage:

These values never leave your device. They are never sent to any server.

Third-party services

The extension uses no analytics tools, no crash reporting services, no advertising networks, and no third-party SDKs of any kind. No data is shared with any third party.

Permissions

The extension requests one permission:

The extension also runs a content script on youtube.com and instagram.com. This script reads and modifies page content to apply overlays. It does not transmit anything it reads.

Children

The extension does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.
