Can't I just disable it?

You can, in three clicks, and we say so on the box. But that's an argument for friction, not against it. A hard block gives you an opponent: it says no, you say watch me, and the effort that could have gone into the question goes into beating the software instead — which you win, once, and then it's off for good. That's how people uninstall a blocker in week two. Friction never refuses you, so there's nothing to beat. Holding the button is always easier than removing the extension, so almost nobody removes it, and the holding is the part that works.

Your rules, in your browser. No history, no visited URLs, no analytics. There is no account, so nothing identifying you reaches us.

Does it work on other browsers?

Chrome and Edge today. Firefox is next; blocking is per-browser by design, so nothing follows you to another one.

Twenty seconds sounds like nothing.

The ring on this page runs for five seconds — a quarter of the real thing — and even that is longer than it reads. Twenty seconds is long enough for the question do I actually want this to arrive, which is the entire mechanism.
