| 2024-10-11 |  | | en | solid you can put www.x.com to make it only block x.com instead of anything that ends in X |
| 2024-09-17 |  | | en | Love it Has some downsides, which are highlighted in other reviews, but all in all: very simple, very clean and most importantly - very effective |
| 2024-08-12 |  | | en | Nice and simple app, but the "x.com" filter, also filter other web pages that end in ....x.com, like max.com or netflix.com |
| 2024-08-01 |  | | en | Please fix the issue where blocking x.com makes every single site that has an "x" in the url also get delayed, sometimes random youtube links, tutorials/recipes from search results etc. Overall one of my main problems with this extension. The function in itself is awesome other than that |

| 2024-04-30 |  | | en | Great for it's simplicity, additional features and functions could make it 5 stars. Some ideas: Allow you to customize delay and time between option, don't see any technical reason for the options given. Allow you to customize blocking time. Users may not always want it active, you may just want it active during work hours for example. Add additional options for unlocking a website besides delay, for example you have to enter a set of characters or a block of text. |

| 2024-01-17 |  | | en | good extension , its such a good boi , does what it promises , doing what it promises is the best we can do sometimes , it overdelivers by doing exactly what it says. |
