LeechBlock NG by James Anderson
Review by Gentle
Rated 3 out of 5
by Gentle, 7 months agoWe wrote about how this extension makes firefox unresponsive, though it kind of is our fault for having 20 000 tabs open.
The developer responded -immediately- with a fix which we really appreciate and were surprised by. They told us to go to enable a performance setting in the general tab, that only considers active tabs.
However, the fix didn't work. It made firefox a little more responsive, but in that we only had to wait one minute per interaction with the browser instead of three.

posted 7 months agoThe other thing you could try is increasing the value of the "Process tabs every __ second(s)" option. With 20,000 tabs open (!) there's going to have to be a trade-off somewhere.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Kobi_Ken_Obi, 10 days agoExtremely useful for doing work. Works great against impulsive youtube searches.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Neromabene, 11 days agoIt really helps with productivity. The available options are also very useful.
As a suggestion, setting Leechblock to block specific Google searches took a bit of time. Maybe some built-in tips regarding this would help future users who might encounter similar difficulties.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18394932, 12 days agoI use this to block Twitter because I refuse to give the apartheid-funded jackass who owns that site and has chosen to make his mid-life crisis everybody else's problem any more traffic. Thanks, Leechblock!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Dr. Hunter Thompson Lockwood, 12 days agothis is a must-have for me. it's been a lifesaver. i have recommended it to many people over the years and included it in lectures to students.
if you find yourself accidentally or automatically navigating to certain websites, but don't want to block them completely, check out the "delay" feature -- you'll be amazed at how a delay of 2-8 seconds can rewire your brain. - Rated 5 out of 5by elmolo, 13 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by jono, a month agoHighly customizable and does exactly what it says on the tin. Slight learning curve but provides deep flexibility that other blocking plugins don't have.
- Rated 5 out of 5by PacsoT, a month agoThanks, I hate it. Saves soooo much time, but damn, is it frustrating or not...
