A: The blocking overlay is designed to be difficult to bypass. With password protection enabled, there's no easy way around it — which is exactly the point! Q: Does it work in incognito mode? A: Yes! You need to enable "Allow in incognito" in the extension settings (we provide a convenient button for this). Once enabled, all your rules apply in incognito mode too. Q: Will it slow down my browser? A: No. DigitalDetox is highly optimized and uses minimal system resources. You won't notice any performance impact. Q: What happens at midnight? A: All daily timers automatically reset. Your usage counters go back to zero, and previously time-blocked sites become accessible again. Q: Can I use it on multiple computers? A: Yes, but settings don't sync between devices.
