Breathe is a Chrome add-on developed by wmarquardt that aims to help users break the habit of mindlessly browsing distracting websites and improve focus and eyesight. This free program makes you wait 25 seconds before allowing access to the distracting sites that you define in the extension options. Once on these sites, you are given a ten-minute window before the extension prompts you to take a break and wait again.

The main goal of Breathe is to encourage users to engage in breathing exercises and limit their time spent on websites that tend to be time-wasting and counterproductive. By incorporating short breaks for breathing exercises, users can cultivate a healthier relationship with technology and improve their overall focus and eyesight. Breathe offers a more balanced approach compared to completely blocking these sites, as it recognizes that complete restriction may lead to users disabling the extension.

With Breathe, users can take control of their online habits and create a more mindful browsing experience. By implementing short breaks and encouraging breathing exercises, this Chrome add-on provides a useful tool for reducing mindless browsing and improving focus and eyesight.
