- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13800030, 7 years agoThis thing has led to me being more productive at night to do homework. Every night I would drown myself in YouTube videos consistently and wait until the last minute to do my HW, but now it has forced me to do so and now I get stuff done quicker.
- Rated 5 out of 5by marras, 7 years agoExcellent add-on, I recommend it to anyone trying to reclaim control over their time and attention.
I love how it's fully customizable, including:
- particular times of the day when a certain group of pages should be blocked
- how long each of them can be viewed (per day / hour / whatever you like)
- whether or not a site should be hidden from sight only when loading, or also while reading passively
It also displays a tiny timer indicating how much time you have left for today on Facebook or other distractions ;)
This extension is a nice improvement from the old (non-NG) version of the plugin, which already beat the competition hands down. - Rated 5 out of 5by Loewi, 7 years agoThe addon is a webextension version of the Leechblock addon and helps me not wasting time (apart from writing a review when I should be studying ;-)).
You can block a list of domains or load a list of domains from an url. You can configure the day(s) of the week and the hours and minutes (eg. 0700-1700).
You can block yourself from undoing these settings and even disable the addon page of Firefox (be careful, you could lock it forever) to hinder yourself from disabling the addon. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13766324, 7 years agoGreat on my PC but not on my phone. Each time I reopen Firefox on my phone it seems to reset the counter.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13771161, 7 years agoA wonderful add-on that allows you to increase your productivity by limiting your website access.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13350142, 7 years agoGreat addon, good for blocking facebook when your getting drunk , and easy to use. Give this guy a clap or even better, a donation
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13763853, 7 years agoI have trouble going to bed on time because I lose my sense of time when I read. Setting up a leachblock set to block everything after 10:30pm gives me the Shelling fence to go to bed.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13761773, 7 years agoI can limit waisted time on news and social media, and also limit my work from home
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13756146, 7 years agoFINALLY! I was looking for a good Blocking App to restrict myself from wasting time. The only other I found - "Block Site" - is a piece of garbage that doesn't work at all how you expect it to work. This one does! Congratz!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13736838, 7 years agoGreat for homeschoolers. Keeps kids off their favorite websites until school is over.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13532507, 7 years agoGreat add-on, lots of options and easy to set up. LOVE IT!
At the moment of writing this review (29-01-2018) it's the only reliable option available to block sites in Firefox Quantum. - Rated 5 out of 5by Henry Hu, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13728897, 7 years agoGreat Addon! Easy to handle and helped me lose the habit of checking pointless news every few minutes when working on challenging tasks.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12837091, 7 years agoThis is the ONLY extension you need if you want to kick bad internet habits, quit porn, or just reclaim the time spent online. Can not thank the developers enough. Thanks Leechblock!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13709235, 7 years agoI honestly recommend this addon to everybody I know. I have a pretty bad internet addiction, and leechblock has helped so much. I finally feel like I'm in control of my social media use, instead of letting it control my life!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13705410, 7 years agoThis add-on helps me waste way less time on the web.
It has a good number of features to specify on which day and at what time to block sites.
Very useful of anyone suffering from procrastination. :D - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13643846, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13264771, 7 years agoI was so glad to find out this extension existed. I used it to block Facebook, which has significantly improved my quality of life. It's highly customisable too, so no complaints.
