Extension Metadata

About this extension
This addon SILENTLY blocks all requests that are not coming from another website (i.e. a search engine), to discourage clicking through on reddit. Loading messages is not blocked, to avoid users disabling the addon when they have the urge to check them.

This makes endlessly scrolling on reddit impossible, while still allowing the site to be used when finding it in the results of search engines, where the chances are higher you were searching for important info, as opposed to mindlessly scrolling.
