block endless scrolling #49

Open benibela opened 4 years ago

benibela commented 4 years ago

It should prevent pages with endless scrolling from loading new content

E.g. when you open reddit or tumblr during a pause, you can scroll endlessly for new content, even after the pause has ended

Hi, thank for using the extension! I'll label it as enhancement and take a look at it since it's quite a common feedback. I perfectly understand the reason behind it.

I implemented that way on purpose when initially developing the extension. The way the extension blocks websites is when they are first loaded. Then we don't care what the hell happens in the tab. I thought that's better for performance as extensions bring quite a bit of headroom to the browsers RAM and CPU consumption.

Unlike #46 I do not want it to redirect away from already open pages

Just keep open pages as they are. Perhaps XMLHttpRequest can be blocked

Perhaps a counter for every second with a scroll-down event?

This also happens to websites that change pages dynamically, such as youtube.

I can change video endlessly after the pause is over without getting blocked.
