Would you be a millionaire if you had a dollar for every time you hit that reload button after waiting to no avail? Is that spinning wheel of doom no longer enough to control your stress levels? Are blank webpages driving you insane?
If so, then you are in need of a new type of loading screen - an interactive one.
Based on the results of a study conducted by two high school students from Staten Island Technical High School (Eric Stein and Daniel Volshteyn), an interactive loading screen greatly assists in increasing a web user's tolerable waiting time (i.e. how long he/she is willing to wait) and therefore decreasing stress. When high-school students were tested with a blank, passive, and interactive loading screen, those with the interactive portrayed the highest average tolerable waiting time.
This extension adds a, "Waiting?" button to the top-right corner of your browser, which you can click on to view and interact with a Newton's Cradle loading screen as you wait, thus giving you access to an online survival tool on any website you visit.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
