Crackbook Revival - Chrome Extension to Limit Use of Time-Wasting Sites

Crackbook Revival is a Chrome extension that works by discouraging the use of websites that often lead to procrastination, such as Facebook or Reddit. It introduces a delay each time a blacklisted website is accessed which increases on every hit. This approach of delaying instead of outright blocking is designed to be more effective in handling distraction problems. The Revival version offers several improvements such as a non-working data usage reporter removal, the addition of a blurred overlay, fixes in the history graph and options interface and more.

It really works! I use it with "MAD - Mindful Anti Distraction" addon- they work hand in hand. When you get passed one barrier, there is another!

It seems good (haven't tried it for more than a couple of times), but there are websites that I want to block to VARYING DEGREES- as some websites I only want to check e.g. 5 times a day and others not at all, so it's hard to find a balance between these different aspects.
