Reviews for LeechBlock NG
LeechBlock NG by James Anderson
Review by Tartley
Rated 5 out of 5
by Tartley, 2 years agoDoes exactly what you'd want (unlike a couple of alternatives I tried.) Takes a few minutes to set it up how you want it, but is flexible enough to either block specific sites, or block everything except for listed exceptions. It can block them through your workday, or after you've been on them for X minutes/hours, or a combination of the two. You can hit a button to override the block, or you can configure it so that overriding requires a password, or is not possible at all!
For those who use profiles: I use one Firefox profile for work, and one for personal stuff. I installed LeechBlock on the personal one, to block everything during my workday. This seems to work well for me.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Kobi_Ken_Obi, 5 days agoExtremely useful for doing work. Works great against impulsive youtube searches.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Neromabene, 5 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.
Cheers! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18688289, 6 days agoBest time saver/productivity tool for Firefox out there
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18394932, 6 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, 7 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, 8 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by jono, 22 days 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, 23 days agoThanks, I hate it. Saves soooo much time, but damn, is it frustrating or not...
