I think the author wants to prevent his/her compulsive clicking of links. I can relate to that, as I tend to open a lot of content without second-guessing.
I accidentaly discover a different method to the same effect. To circumvent censorship in my country, I began regularly using a tor proxy. (Not the tor browser, just my regular browser setup). Of course everything became slow, reminding me of the good old 56k days. At first I was annoyed, it's not only slow, it's also full of CAPTCHAs. Most websites using cloudflare ask me to "prove I'm human". Annoying as it might seem, it's my ultimate "anti-compulsive-click" tool.
If I don't bother filling a captcha and/or waiting a few (~10-20) seconds to read something online, is it worth it ?
