Doomscrolling
How to Stop

Break the outrage loop before it captures your attention

Doomscrolling often starts with one provocative post and turns into a chain of anger, anxiety, and low-value updates. FeedFirewall helps interrupt that loop by marking content designed to keep you emotionally hooked.

Why Doomscrolling Feels Automatic

Outrage-heavy feeds are built around emotional momentum. Each inflammatory post makes the next one easier to open, reply to, or refresh for updates.

Outrage Loops

Rage-bait posts trigger anger and curiosity, making it harder to stop after one thread or comment section.

False Urgency

Sensational posts make every controversy feel immediate, even when the content is recycled, exaggerated, or low-value.

AI Slop Volume

Generated summaries, fake hot takes, and bot-like replies create endless content without adding real understanding.

Create a Pause Before the Scroll

FeedFirewall labels likely manipulation patterns in your feed, giving you a visible reason to pause and choose whether the post deserves your attention.

Interrupt Autopilot

Flags break the automatic scroll-reaction-refresh loop before it turns into another lost hour.

Spot Emotional Hooks

See when posts rely on outrage, fear, or divisive framing to keep you engaged.

Leave Faster

When low-value content is clearly marked, it becomes easier to close the tab or move to something better.

Signals FeedFirewall watches for

The extension looks for clusters of manipulation signals, not isolated words.

"The label gives me the tiny pause I need. I still check social media, but I do not spiral through every argument anymore."
