Another tip: Prior to going to a shopping website (such as Amazon), I go to my Firefox browser settings, and I disable all images. This keeps me from buying useless junk via addicting recommendation algorithms, and removes the temptation very well. I also never go to one of these websites, unless I know exactly what I am planning on buying. In other words, I make a paper list of things I need to buy before I get onto one of these sites.
That plugin is for desktop browser. My biggest distraction is the phone actually. And firefox for phone doesn't support it yet. Somebody should really port it. Grease monkey also doesn't work on mobile browsers.
What a great idea. I have myself disabled colors on the screen to avoid those addictive contrasts.
I also try to do a phone fast every Sunday, where I give my phone to my wife and just live without it for a day. It's amazingly rewarding. You should give it a try :)

Amazing :-)! You know this is exactly the correct way, to reset your brain, to be motivated, so that you can work hard! I will definitely give it a try! Thank you :-)

I do not know if this is helpful for your situation, but I keep my laptop [Windows 10 Professional] always on. I always keep my Synology NAS on. I usually remotely access these devices on my iPhone or my iPad. I prefer the iPad though. I essentially VNC in, and I then get on the internet via Firefox Desktop with extensions loaded.
Sometimes the remote connection is not an ideal situation. I keep a Rock Pi X, with a Windows 10 variant loaded on it, with me, when I am out and about. I have it configured with the Desktop browser extensions that I like to use and I basically VNC in: https://liliputing.com/2020/10/the-59-rock-pi-x-is-like-a-wi...
A smaller form factor like a Raspberry Pi Zero with an Ubuntu variant may be a better option, though.

Obviously uBlock Origin is a necessity, too.
