- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14170362, 6 years agoOh, man, I remember when I had this add-on. It was almost life-saving. (If I were a more dramatic person, I would've said it was DEFINITELY life-saving.) I think I stopped having it after numerous Firefox update that made the version I used incompatible. I haven't felt the need to block certain sites again, thanks to the disciplined habit this add-on helped me build. But now, I'm slipping on the procrastination track, and no better time than to re-install this add-on.
The add-on is highly versatile and doesn't dictate you on how and when to use it. Multiple options make it highly customisable to your own needs, including multiple options of site-blocking groups (i.e., you don't have to worry about needing to access one site while it's being blocked together with another site -- put them in different group, activate them separately, and you're good), scheduled blocking time, ability to start blocking at any time you want, and the option to override the block if you desperately need to (personally not recommended to use unless it's a life or death situation).
If you're looking for a site blocker that's easly altered to your needs as well as easy to use, this is the one for you. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mattwmaster58, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Woudi Kherenc, 6 years agoExcellent extension! I removed a star because of a bug I just found: it seems that if you use "blank page" instead of "default page" in the "how to block" section, the site is not actually blocked. Happy to give the star back when this is corrected.
Edit: I was not able to reproduce the bug, so I'm giving back the fifth star. :-)Developer response
posted 6 years agoThanks for the review. I just tested the Blank Page option and it works fine for me. I haven't received any other reports of a problem here. I recommend you post it as an issue on GitHub (see LB support page) so I can investigate further. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14358236, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14346901, 6 years agoAwesome... I run a small business and this app is very much wonderful to keep my workers focus. I wish to be able to redirect blocked sites to keep them focused on work related sites

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13255039, 6 years agoNow I can limit how much I'm on certain time-consuming websites! Once it's set up, you'll be saving time handily. I personally go with 15 minutes of breaks (on Facebook, Wikipedia, and any other addresses I've added to the list) for every two hours.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12922237, 6 years agoAbsolutely brilliant, does everything you'd want it to do and then some (e.g. a 60 seconds delay really works wonders for me), really well thought out add-on, big thanks to the developer!!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Ashley, 6 years agoWorks well. I recommend partnering with someone to have the access password.

- Rated 5 out of 5by d9k, 6 years agoIf extension slows down your browser too much just open "LeechBlock Options -> General -> Miscellaneous" and mark "Process only active tabs "

- Rated 5 out of 5by DANG, 6 years agoAmazing app - very customisable. One of the reasons I stay with Firefox. Wish there were a version for Edge so I couldn't just access my distraction websites that way!
