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. |

en | Really useful and effecitive for me. Personally it works better than those plugins that just direclty blocks the site. Give me some time to reflect and feel like I'm in control here. |

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. |

en | This is literally the only blocksite I've seen so far that doesn't block an entire domain. I.e. you can block a subreddit without blocking all of reddit.com. This is EXTREMELY important because there are times I need to look stuff up for work, but then there are times I endlessly check news on r/technology. Most extensions can't differentiate between the two! |

en | The extension has proven to be quite effective for me. I've been searching for this type of tool for a while because the idea of completely blocking a website never worked for me. Instead, I was looking for a reminder to help me to realise that i was being distracted, and revert myself to the present moment. After an hour of searching, I finally found it!(this extension). Thanks to the developers. I like the feeling of being sort, of intimidated? to stop being distracted because it encourages to think about my actions rather than being forced to stop using apps outright. I agree with others who suggest adding custom waiting times and "lock me out after" options, but the current settings work well for me, so it's not a big issue. Thanks again! I also have some ideas for improvements. It would be great if there was an option for a sound effect or a custom sound every time it goes to the "waiting time" screen. If I had the choice, I'd use "vine boom.mp3." Another cool addition could be the option to use a custom image on the screen. I have some fun ideas for what image I'd use, but I understand that might be a big ask, so I'm not explicitly requesting it. |

Great idea, well executed, does no more than it needs to. Perhaps a text entry to add a custom delay would be a useful addition. | |

The concept is great, but the options for lock-out time are limited to 10 seconds, 20 seconds, or 30 seconds. That's too low for me, which makes the extension practically useless. I really wish they provided longer options, like 1min, 5min, 10min, or that they would let you set your own time. If they can incorporate that, then the extension would be fantastic! | |

it's very good but there's a huge problem , which is if you exit the tab the countdown still continues and after 30 seconds it opens , so i could like switch to another page till 30s and hop back on to that page, so i think it would be helpful if countdown only happens when you are active in the page. | |

By far the best website blocker I have come across. Simple, effective, and minimalist. I like the funny messages that you display when attempting to look at a disabled website. Definitely lives up to it's name of being "A quick and easy cure for Endless Scrolling Syndrome." |
