User reviews

Users appreciate BlockSite for effectively helping them stay focused and avoid distractions with a simple and intuitive interface. It aids productivity by blocking addictive sites and habits. However, common complaints include the severely limited free version, lack of advanced scheduling and locking features, ease of bypassing blocks, and issues with paid subscription management and privacy concerns.

Free version provides basic functionality useful for some users
Helps with productivity by blocking distracting sites like YouTube and social media
Positive impact on breaking bad habits like excessive gambling or doomscrolling

Cons

Limited free version blocking only up to three sites, making it nearly useless without payment
Lack of advanced blocking features like scheduled block periods or unbreakable locks
Easy to bypass focus sessions, reducing effectiveness
Paid version issues such as automatic sign-out on browser close, disabling settings
Concerns about privacy and data sharing with affiliates, especially for paid users
Unexpected subscription renewals without warning and lack of refund

it helps me a lot from reminding me not to waste my time for miscellaneous things

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

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.

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