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).
