Features & Capabilities

You opened your browser to check one quick thing. Three YouTube videos and a Reddit rabbit hole later, you can't even remember what it was. Sound familiar?

Back to Work is the gentle nudge you didn't know you needed. It doesn't lock you out of websites or treat you like a child. Instead, when you visit a site on your blocklist, it simply asks: "Are you sure you want to be distracted from your work?" Then it makes you wait 5 whole seconds before you can click through. Turns out, 5 seconds is all it takes to remember you were supposed to be writing that report.

What it does:

You tell it which websites are your kryptonite (youtube.com, reddit.com, we don't judge) When you try to visit one, it intercepts with an "Are you sure?" page You get two options: "Go back to work" or "I'm sure" (available after a 5-second cooldown) Subdomains are included automatically — no sneaking through m.youtube.com Sometimes you actually need a break: Hit pause for 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or until tomorrow morning. We get it — sometimes that YouTube video really is a work tutorial. Resume blocking anytime with one click.

Is Back to Work Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Back to Work requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Back to Work may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
