Theme & Heat Every screen you scroll down heats the page up. The hotter it gets, the harder it is to keep scrolling. Pick how it looks.
Try it: how hot does it get?

How to cool off: scroll back up (it cools almost twice as fast as scrolling down heats), the top of the page chills everything, and stepping away lets it cool on its own. Heat is remembered per site, so reloading doesn't reset it, and reloading doesn't escape a meltdown either.
Whitelist Sites and pages listed here are left alone.
A bare domain covers all its subdomains. Use * as a wildcard, e.g. youtube.com/watch*.
Schedule Only run during certain hours.
Windows that pass midnight (e.g. 21:00 → 07:00) work too.

Ads How Doom Scroller stays free.
Doom Scroller shows one small card labeled Sponsored in the corner of pages. It rotates through a few ads, is picked without looking at the page, and steps aside for pop-up windows, dialogs and full-screen video. Closing it skips to the next ad; “Hide ads for 1 hour” pauses them. Go ad-free to remove them for good.
