- Rated 5 out of 5by aquino40, a day agoVery complete add-on. Actually blocks subdomains properly so i can stop myself from getting absorbed into watching shorts with youtube's intrusive recommendations but still usw the site. Great blocking options, customizable, and gotta appreciate that it's free.
- Rated 1 out of 5by lkjhkjhkh, 2 days agoUnintuitive interface. Either it's not possible to configure it to block a website indefinitely (as opposed to a fixed number of hours) or the UI is so unintuitive that I couldn't find that setting even after looking for several minutes.

posted 2 days agoTo block websites indefinitely, enter "0000-2400" as the time period and select all days of the week. It's that simple. 🙂

- Rated 5 out of 5by afred, 6 days agoamazing add-on for helping me focus; I use the delay-page option so I'm forced to evaluate whether i want to waste time on youtube for 60 seconds before it opens.
I recommend taking the time to understand the functions because it can block pages in a lot of ways depending on what works for you. - Rated 5 out of 5by ff@n , 7 days agoOnce again, this addon is a life saver, especially for someone like me who gets easily distracted while online. Love the wildcard option. For example: I have blocked google news on week days. However, if I search anything on google search and then click on the news option, I am able to see news stories related to my search. Using this "*google.com/search?sca_esv=" as a wildcard blocks it perfectly. Maybe a bit extreme, but much needed to get away from the internet. Thanks again.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Elvin Aslanov, 12 days agoGenerally a very good idea to boost productivity with minimalist UI in place, but it's also easy to bypass as extensions can be disabled/removed in Firefox reverting their settings.

posted 10 days agoThanks for the review. See the FAQ page for ways to lock down the extension itself. - Rated 5 out of 5by michael, 14 days agoIt took a few minutes to install, I use the 'quick start' from the documentation page on the website.
It is working for me right now, succesfully banned the Reddit front page, other subreddits are working. Has other nice features but I don't want them right now. - Rated 5 out of 5by T. Mahmood, 15 days agoI hate this plugin, but also, I love it. It forces me to get out of my procrastination loop and work. I hate working, but I have to work anyway, and thankful for being able to earn my keep. So yeah, it's a love and hate relationship, but for the best.
If you are having trouble managing time, and have thousands of tabs from those certain 'important' websites, and replies/comments that you have to write to correct all the wrongs, cause no one should be wrong on the Internet, then have this please.
You may not thank me later, or ever. But at least your clients/family will have you. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18804225, 16 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Shahil, 16 days agoDoes what it says and is foss what more could you ask for. The UI looks like its daunting but its easy to set up.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18617472, 16 days agoI know people who would charge 20 kidneys a month for less than that.
Edit: Sorry I forgot to say thank you, thank you ! - Rated 5 out of 5by Paweł, 19 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ralf, 21 days agoAbsolute amazing extension. Helps me focus every day. A lot of options, which I actually use, like delaying or negative prompts. Only the interface might be a bit more complicated than necessary.
- Rated 5 out of 5by plexus, 21 days agoSo awesome! This saved me from my addiction during working hours. Thank you. <3

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15168315, 23 days agoExactly what I needed to get myself out of the habit of checking various websites all the time. The delaying page is a fantastic way of giving enough of an obstacle to change your compulsion, without being so much of an obstacle that your desire to get around it is triggered.
