This sounds like a relatively easy thing to build a Chrome extension for.

I also don't know if I'd want a random Chrome extension having access to my social media cookies.

In previous experience with browser extension solutions, I unfortunately found it way too easy to "remove from chrome" when I wanted to get around the block.

Ultimately you can't program around self control and determination. There's always a limit to baby-proofing yourself and that's an indictment of me more than any program. However what I appreciate about the system level phone solution is that there's no easy to immediately remove it.

On a phone, the barrier to uninstall is larger than the barrier to waiting 15 seconds. The effort reverses in a browser.

I'd probably need a system level solution to effectively work for me on laptop.
