It can't block specific urls. All it does is a plain site block. Not ideal for development kind of work

Dinesh Krishnan, 2024-08-01

It is not blocking properly. I added multiple websites, and not a single one works. UI so confusing. You don't know if the extension already applied the blocking on the sites you listed. There is no clarity. There is no "apply changes" button to confirm it, that's the most missing feature. Another thing is that, there is no direct "block this site" feature. You have to manually type each and every single one only to find out, it doesn't work.
