NoSwipeForYou: Prevent Swiping on Websites

A browser extension that forces users to engage with content before continuing to browse, preventing swiping or scrolling past certain elements on websites.

What is NoSwipeForYou?

NoSwipeForYou is a browser extension available for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari that stops users from mindlessly swiping or scrolling past content on the internet. It works by locking scrollability and touch gestures on specific parts of webpages.

When the user encounters a NoSwipeForYou-enabled section of a webpage, they will be prevented from swiping or scrolling past it on mobile devices or using scroll wheels/gestures on desktop. This forces them to actually read, watch, or engage with the content before being able to continue scrolling down the page.

The extension was created to counteract the trend of people endlessly scrolling through social media and other sites without fully seeing the content. By locking swipe/scroll on selected areas, NoSwipeForYou aims to make web browsing more intentional and focused.

The tool allows website owners to easily define areas of their pages to enable NoSwipeForYou functionality. There are also customizable settings to control the size of locked areas and duration of time before scrolling unlocks. It's useful for ensuring readership of important website sections like featured articles, advertisements, announcements, etc.
