I feel the same is true for me as well. I wasn't aware of this extension though. For now, what I do is if I see myself getting addicted to an app, I just uninstall/block it for 2-3 weeks. After that even if I install it back, the craving is mostly gone.
It does come back though in 3-4 months. Facebook was boring for me so never used it again after uninstalling.
