Anchor: Stops you from continuing to scroll forever

Anchor is a simple Chromium/Firefox extension that aims to combat the mindless scrolling that keeps us glued to our screens for hours. With Anchor, scrolling becomes a deep sea dive, where the further down you scroll, the deeper you dive. As you scroll, your screen gradually turns a dark blue, and a playful little fish swims across your screen. Finally, you hit a rock bottom, reminding you to take a break from scrolling.

This extension is an expansion of the original experiment by Brendan Browne-Adams, Lahari Goswami, Miki Chiu, Tayo Kopfer, and Twomuch Studio. The beauty of the original extension lies in its simplicity, and the developer aims to maintain that simplicity while adding additional functionality.

Please note that to activate the extension for the first time, you may need to remove and add the page to the scrolling list once. After this initial setup, Anchor should work seamlessly to help you break free from endless scrolling.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
