User reviews

The extension is widely appreciated for its free and user-friendly approach to blocking distracting websites, effectively aiding users in gaining focus and reducing dependencies. However, common issues include failure to block sites on pre-opened tabs without refresh, occasional trouble blocking specific websites, and blocked pages displaying messages instead of blank screens. Despite some negative experiences, most users find it a helpful productivity tool.

Pros

Effective at blocking websites to help users reduce distractions and dependencies (e.g., YouTube).
User-friendly and convenient interface.
Free to use.
Works reliably for most users.
Helpful for improving concentration and productivity.

Cons

Does not block sites if the tab was already open prior to enabling the blocker and page is not refreshed.
Some users report inability to block certain websites.
Blocked pages show a message about being blocked rather than a blank or white screen.
Some users experience that blocked pages still open in tabs instead of being fully prevented.
A few users reported the extension not working or falsely claiming sites are blocked (possible inconsistency).
