User reviews

Users praise Website Blocker for its ease of use, effectiveness, and unique features like time limits and custom URL blocking. It's free, ad-free, and supported actively by developers. However, some report it stopped working after recent updates, desire for better password protection to secure blocked sites and extension settings, and improvements like automatic daily resets and better dark mode UI. Overall, it's well-liked for helping reduce screen time and blocking distractions despite some areas needing improvement.

Pros

Effective in blocking unwanted websites, including custom URLs and specific pages.
Easy to use with a simple, intuitive interface allowing quick setup.
Free and ad-free, providing good value without ads.
Supports unique features like time limits, schedules and auto-close of websites.
Responsive developer support, quick to fix translation errors and listen to suggestions.

Cons

Stopped working completely after certain updates (December 31, 2024 update mentioned).
Lacks password protection for individual URLs and extension removal, which could improve security.
Password feature can be annoying as it prompts frequently when toggling blocking rules.
Some issues with the dark mode UI not applying well to certain extension components.
Resetting time limits daily is not automatic; user has to reset manually every day.

Extension safety

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.

Website Blocker requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.
