Spending too much time online?  Here’s a funny hack to try:  Add JUMP SCARES to sites you can’t stop visiting.

There’s an app called TabBoo that does it through Google Chrome.  You can download the extension at TabBoo.xyz.

When you visit a site that you want to use less, a scary picture pops up and prevents you from accessing it.  You can also have it play sound effects.

You can add it for specific sites, or let it choose based on your browsing habits.  You can also dial in how often it happens, anywhere from a 1% chance to 100%.
