User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's simplicity, effectiveness, and ability to reduce social media distractions, often calling it their favorite blocker with motivational elements. However, multiple users request better customization options, such as whitelisting specific sites like LinkedIn, and report difficulties understanding usage or settings. Some social media platforms like Twitter and Snapchat are reportedly unblocked or missing, and there is a desire for features that prevent easy removal of the extension.

Is it possible to customise some websites at an individual level to whitelist them? For example I use linkedin for job hunt but its blacklisted, that might not be the case for others and would want it blocked.

Perfect. Just one suggestion, figure out a way you can stop people from removing the extension (using some warning b4 the extension is added)

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.

Social media blocker requires very minimum permissions.
