User Reviews

Okay, so i was doubtful considering the small amount of users and even less reviews, but it works just as advertised! I wanted to cut down my fb and ig 'addictions', aka get my productivity back on track. JUST A NOTE: There's no way to see the maximum allowed browsing time for each 'restricted' website. For instance, i wanted to set Facebook to 5 minutes a day, and YouTube to 20 minutes. When i click on each listed website it still shows "00:00:00 / 00:15:00" for all of them. On that note the timing input field could be better, in its current form it doesn't force you to any specific input format (you can even enter "abc" if you want to), so something like a scrolling UI for |hours|minutes|seconds| a-la iPhone, or a droplist would be more intuitive and reduce possible input errors. Anyway, so i enter "www.facebook.com" in the URL field, "00:05:00" in the grayed time field for 5 mins of daily facebook, then click "+". At that point i assume it's all good. Then i go on my Facebook tab and see that the add-on counter has started (after a few seconds i started scrolling down my fb news-feed). So i spend some time on my fb, but i look at my watch and realize it's been more than 5 minutes, so i checked the add-on and noticed the counter was indeed already at 00:11:35, it had passed the 5 minute mark i had set it up to stop at. So I guess the add-on didn't remember my original input. Is this Add-On perfect? No, not yet. it may require a little more work... but damn IT IS ALREADY AWESOME AS IT IS!!! By the way, after the counter went up to "00:15:00" my Facebook tab got suddenly 'emptied', literally turned into a blank page. So i closed the tab and tested if the add-on truly worked. i launch Facebook again in a new tab and IT WORKED!!! Not immediately, it takes maybe 4-5 seconds for the add-on to track you've opened one of the listed 'restricted' sites, and for which your daily browsing time has already expired, but it eventually does and boom, the tab gets 'emptied' again. And again. AND AGAIN. i've tried and it worked every single time! Truly satisfactory to have this add-on work as advertised. Until now i was doing it the old fashion way by adding "127.0.0.1 facebook.com" in my hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc). While doing so works, it's very extreme as it won't let you access the restricted websites AT ALL. They're literally blacklisted, can't be opened on any browser. When trying to curb your social network addiction, you wanna do that gradually and MINBLOCKER offers you exactly that support, a way to improve your productivity. DRASTICALLY! Got more done this weekend than this entire past month. Social networks are more than time consuming, they're a cancer, and most people don't realize they've fallen into the depth of a true addiction. But when you realize like me, that you've spent 9 hours this week on youtube and 5 hours on Facebook, trust me, this add-on is a godsend. Thank you CK for this great add-on, i hope you will continue to improve it, in particular allow a simple way to set/check max browsing times individually for each restricted website listed on the add-on. Thanks again!!!

Is Kibosh Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Kibosh requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Kibosh has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.

Risk likelihood analysis details
  • High This extension has low user count. Unpopular extensions may not be stable or safe.
