Simple Blocker

Latest update, version 0.6.4.4 (2023-05-11): Not working at all currently, even if you give it full access to the sites it's supposed to block. It seems like the developer has been iterating rapidly, maybe fixing bugs then breaking it again. Though I still wonder if it's been hijacked. There have been no updates in the change log, and the support site is still down. I think I'm going to develop my own blocker extension, since I can't find any that don't ask for full read/write data access. I'm leaving the other info below in case it starts working again. ---------- (See below for how to disable the scary permission) Very suspicious: This extension suddenly asks permission to "read and change all your data on all websites", after working without that permission for many years. Most other site blockers also require this permission, but at least some of them explain why. I'd go find one of them if you're not already a user of Simple Blocker. The lack of permissions required in old versions was my one reason for choosing this extension over others. I'm very sad; I've been using it for many years. However, you can disable that permission if you want. I'm doing that in Simple Blocker because I already have it set up the way I want it. Open the Chrome Extensions settings page and click on the Details button for the extension (or for Simple Blocker just go to chrome://extensions/?id=akfbkbiialncppkngofjpglbbobjoeoe). Under "Site Access", change the pulldown from "On all sites" to "On click". Note that you have to install the extension before doing this, if it wasn't already installed, and it will be enabled when you install it. If you're newly installing the extension, I recommend closing all other tabs while you do the process above.

没用？

Terrible. Messes up browser, shows up unpredictably. Uninstalling (I hope).
