Slow Sub av Kartik Mudgal

Take control of your Twitch spending habits with Slow Sub, a simple but powerful browser extension that adds a 1-minute unlock timer to the Subscribe and Gift buttons on Twitch.

Whether you’re prone to impulse buying or just want to pause and reflect before subbing or gifting, Slow Sub introduces a gentle barrier—enough to help you make more mindful decisions without disrupting your viewing experience. The extension temporarily disables the Subscribe and Gift buttons and replaces them with a visible countdown timer. After 60 seconds, the button reactivates and functions normally.
