Welcome

Put a thoughtful turn between impulse and attention.

Good Detour redirects only the sites you choose. Rules stay on this browser unless you opt in to Chrome Sync—no developer account, browsing-history upload, advertising SDK, or hidden tracking.

01

Choose a habit

Try cnn.com, foxnews.com, or any site you visit on autopilot.

02

Pick a better route

Choose AP, NPR, Hacker News, a TED channel, or your own URL.

03

Keep the pause

Use the calm pause page, or skip it for a direct redirect.

Install Good Detour, then choose the sites and destinations that work for you.

Permission, in plain English

Access is requested one site at a time.

When you save a rule, Chrome asks whether Good Detour may act on that domain. It uses that access only to perform the redirect you created. You can revoke access or delete your extension data at any time.
