Permissions:
  * Your data on all websites
  * Your tabs and browsing activity

In order to cover up blocked websites, we need permission to interact with them. We're open-source, so feel free to grab a programmer buddy and make sure that that's all we do: no website's content is read or stored in any way.

=======================

The Pomodoro Technique for time management is simple: work hard for 25 minutes without distractions, knowing that a 5 minute break is soon on its way. This extension helps you stay focused while you work by blocking the sites that can so easily distract us.

We pre-loaded the extension with a handful of popular distracting websites, but you can easily add new sites to the list, or, if you're daring, you can even create a whitelist of the *only* websites allowed during a work session. You can also change the lengths of the work and break timers - though I'd recommend against it: these times are default for a reason, so only change them if you're certain that they will make you more productive.

When we say "strict", we mean it. Once a work timer starts, there's no stopping it without straight-up disabling the extension or restarting the browser. This is for your benefit: I wrote this extension with myself in mind, and I know how tempting it can be to just give up when work gets too frustrating. Therefore, Strict Pomodoro actively discourages this behavior, though you can always disable the extension in case of emergency.

Stay focused, and have fun!

The tomato created from 24:00 to 09:00, will be counted in yesterday, not today.

It can start the timer, but there's no way to stop it ... what good is a timer if you can't turn it off halfway through due to an unavoidable interruption?

Thanks for using. My consideration is that if a user can turn it off easily, he or she is able to cheat oneself, and the timer loses strictness. In fact, you can disable the extension if you really intend to open the website right now.
