Господи, я перепробовал наверное штук 20 таких расширений, но это ЕДИНСТВЕННОЕ, которое имеет возможность блокировать и разблокировать не по дням недели и времени суток, а когда МНЕ это надо. Я работаю без графика, мне не интересны никакие дни недели и сколько времени на часах, поэтому мне нужно была именно свобода в активации. Более того! Данное расширение в отличии от остальных не руинит мне забаненные вкладки без возможности восстановления. Когда блок проходит - вкладка оживает. В прочих расширениях мне банили сайты без возможности восстановления. Короче, я долго искал и наконец-то нашел лучший фокус-сайт-блокер для себя. 10/10
