en The software is brilliant, just this chrome extension requires reinstallation multiple times a day, quite frustrating. Been an issue for many months, hope it gets fixed as it has been a recurring issue as is evident by the other reviews from the past months.

en Edit: 8/2024 - It keeps constantly saying this add-on isn't downloaded, and threatens to close my browser, even though its downloaded. It's super annoying. Makes this add-on very inconvenient and not worth it. I'd give it a higher start than 4, but it frequently shows pop-ups that my chrome browser needs the add-on installed to continue using it, but it already has the add-on! And it counts down, but doesn't do anything. It's just there being kinda annoying and opening the chrome addon page sporadically on me.

Lost many saved tabs I made the mistake of leaving open many tabs that I wanted to go back to later. FocusMe blocked and essentially deleted those pages with no way to restore them or know what was there previously. Pages of Tweets and YT videos that weren't for wasting time but for actual work and study were all gone bc of the blanket Social Media filter I turned on. I regret it terribly.
