Nice and simple, that's just what I wanted no extra annoyances like timers or anything frou-frou. I don't use URL blockers for productivity I use them to smite rude websites that say rude shite like "you have 1 more article this month' Excuse me? 😑 How snotty can you get? If a webmaster is going to act that way then I don't want to read your content at all. Block! Far too many programmers make their extensions converted adding in so many unneeded bells and whistles, this one is perfect. Install>go to the offending website>click the extension icon, and block it!
