Very effective at blocking distracting sites and saving time.

Reliable and generally performs well compared with alternative extensions.

Cons

Free version is limited to 3 blocking rules.
Too easy to disable; users want more friction to turn it off.

Unclear update mechanism or prompts with no obvious update path.
Some users report not blocking certain sites or non-functionality.

2026-03-31	Se*****	Best find for Android. Finally found a blocker that actually works on mobile Firefox. It's super lightweight and, most importantly, completely non-intrusive – no annoying ads or popups. The 5-rule limit on the free version is very fair because you can just swap rules whenever you need. I just treated myself to the pro version since there's a sale right now. My wish for the future: a built-in Pomodorro timer and the ability to create separate lists for different tasks. Thanks for a clean tool!

Возможно это нужно автору, чтобы напомнить о донате - я понимаю. И наверное это правильно. Но я такие расширения удаляю. Слишком много всего, что без моего разрешения и ведома на моём компьютере что-то делает. Я всегда стараюсь от этого избавиться, потому что хочу полностью контролировать свой компьютер.
