User reviews

Users find the Block Site Extension effective and easy to use for blocking distracting websites, helping improve focus and mental health. It is praised for working well without intrusive notifications and offering straightforward rule management. However, several users feel it is too easy to disable the add-on, reducing its efficacy. The UI could be more user-friendly, particularly in rule management, and the lack of notifications can cause confusion regarding blocked sites. Overall, it is a valuable tool but could benefit from enhanced control features and UI improvements.

Lacks notifications or feedback when a site is blocked, causing some users to be unaware of the blocking.
User interface could be improved, such as allowing adding new rules from the top instead of scrolling.
Some users experience difficulty with certain sites not being blocked as expected, possibly due to user error.

Thank you so much. I kept visiting the same websites compulsively all day every day and now I can't anymore. It's really helpful for my mental health. And it works very well, I'm not having any issue with it. Take care.

Extension safety

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.

Block Site Extension 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.

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.
