Users praise Block Site for effective, free, and open-source blocking of sites with a straightforward interface. However several users report reliability problems after browser updates and private mode changes, as well as cumbersome rule management that complicates editing. A subset of reviews expresses security concerns about authenticity and unexpected prompts. Overall, the add-on is useful for basic blocking and privacy, but may require patience with updates and rule handling.

Cons

Reliability and compatibility issues after browser/OS updates, including private mode not working.
Rule management is cumbersome: cannot edit rules inline and regex changes can mis-format, requiring full purge and reload.
