How loud is your internet right now?
Five short questions, ending with a non-binding estimate of which Noise Guard level might suit you. Nothing is transmitted anywhere, everything stays in this tab.
How often do you notice you've scrolled longer than you meant to?
How do you usually feel after reading comment sections?
Videos that keep autoplaying: how do you feel about that?
Countdown timers, "only 2 left", and similar: how do you react?
How important is a deliberate screen break in the evening to you?
"Gentle" is probably enough
Nothing here suggests urgent need for action, a light baseline against ads and the most obvious comments should be enough.
"Balanced" is probably the fit
A few of the described patterns sound familiar. The balanced level blocks more ads and mutes autoplay, without intervening heavily.
"Focus" or "Deep Calm" probably helps
A lot of this sounds familiar. The stricter levels (aggressive ad blocking, reduced motion, slowed scrolling) are likely to make the biggest difference for you.
What this test isn't
Five questions are a rough estimate, not a diagnosis. Every intensity level in Noise Guard can be adjusted in detail at any time, the recommendation here is just a sensible starting point, not a fixed decision.
