Extension summary

Finally, a website blocker that actually works!

Some website blockers are too strict, so you disable them, only to never enable them again.

Some are too lax, so you figure out how to bypass them and they become useless.

WebBlock finds the perfect balance: it let's you go on blocked websites, but first you have to do nothing for 1 minute. The boredom is the perfect deterrent from binging youtube, but doesn't get in the way of real work!

User reviews

Started spam-blocking upon start-up, closing Chrome as soon as I clicked anywhere on the screen. Worked fine before that, but the 'click anywhere and the blocked tab closes' was pretty annoying even then.
