Experience Settings

Configure features that may affect your browsing habits. All features below are opt-in only and disabled by default.

⚠️ Conscious Choice Required

These features are designed to enhance engagement but may contribute to addictive browsing patterns. Please consider your digital well-being before enabling them.

📜 Content Loading

Control how content is loaded and displayed in your feed.

Infinite Scroll

Automatically load more content as you scroll, eliminating the need to click "next page".

⚠️ May increase time spent browsing

Why this matters:

Infinite scroll removes natural stopping points, potentially leading to extended browsing sessions. Studies show it can increase content consumption by 20-50%.

Auto-Refresh Content

Automatically check for new content once per day (when browsing the main feed).

⚠️ May create FOMO and compulsive checking

Why this matters:

Even with daily refreshes, auto-updating content can create expectation patterns that encourage habitual checking behaviors.

🔔 Notifications & Alerts

Manage notifications that might interrupt your workflow or create urgency.

Push Notifications

Receive browser notifications for new content and updates.

⚠️ May interrupt focus and create urgency

Why this matters:

Push notifications exploit the brain's reward system, creating dopamine responses that encourage app checking habits.

🛡️ Behavioral Opt-in

Acknowledgment and consent for potentially addictive features.

Dark Patterns Awareness

I understand that the features above may contribute to addictive browsing patterns and I choose to enable them consciously.

⚠️ Required for enabling any addictive features

Why this matters:

This serves as a conscious acknowledgment that you're making an informed choice about features that may affect your digital well-being.
