User reviews

It's incredible useful. Thanks for making such a easy to use app. Nevertheless, I would like to ask something, Could it be possible to just freeze the blocked website instead of closing the tab? Thank you very much.

Era exatamente o que eu estava procurando, após instalar diversas extensões estava quase desistindo e encontrei essa extensão que me surpreendeu, funciona de forma muito simples e muito eficaz. Parabéns para quem desenvolveu tenho certeza que vai ajudar muitas outras pessoas, uma pena não ser muito conhecido, eu não tenho o costume de comentar mas resolvi fazer isso dessa vez pra ajudar a mais pessoas verem essa extensão e também porque realmente é bom. Obrigado!
