How to Block X (Twitter) on Chrome and Stay Focused

X is a stream of news, arguments and notifications that never runs out. It moves between pages without reloading, so a quick look at one post slides into the timeline. Redirect watches those changes and sends you back to your goals.

Tips for X (Twitter)

Make it stick

Add a second rule for twitter.com, since some links still use the old domain.
If you post for work, schedule the rule for everything outside a short daily posting window.
Use a daily limit of one or two pauses to keep checking from becoming refreshing.
