DecayBlock Firefox

DecayBlock

Block distracting websites with a timeout that gets longer if you use them, and shorter when you don't.

Features & Capabilities

Tired of website blockers that just don't work?

Most fail for one of two reasons. They're too strict, so you end up disabling them permanently. Or they're too lenient, so you quickly find a way around them.

DecayBlock offers a smarter solution: adaptive friction. It adds a small timeout before you can access a distracting site. This timeout grows the more you visit these sites, and decays when you stay away.

How it works:

  • Add websites to your Dashboard and choose how to regulate them: either apply a timeout or block them entirely. You can also categorize sites, like social media or news, or permanently block content such as adult sites.
  • When you visit a regulated site, a timeout is applied before you gain access. This timeout increases with continued browsing, gently nudging you to adjust your habits.
  • When you stop visiting regulated websites, your accumulated timeout gradually decreases.
  • You can easily customize the timeout growth rate (how quickly the timeout builds) and the decay half-life (how fast it reduces) to tailor the extension to your personal productivity goals. You can also set a minimum timeout (e.g., 5 seconds minimum at all times).
  • You can also view a chart of your timeout history to see your progress.

Is DecayBlock Safe?

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.

DecayBlock 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. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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.

DecayBlock is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
