I really like this tool, it helps me stay focused. However I would like another feature - set a period where you will be unable to access certain website even with password or other actions. in example if I set 7 days block, I have to wait 7 days to access it again

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.

BlockSite Block Websites & Stay Focused requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
