en It stopped working. It is enabled, but I can open any websites that should be "paused" without any barrier. There is no way to make it work.

en It's decent but really needs a darkmode for evening browsing. Can't look at it after sunset.

fr Je ne comprends pas bien le but de cette extension. On peut bloquer l'accès à une liste de sites web, mais on peut débloquer cet accès à tout moment en cliquant sur l'icône de l'extension et en libérant l'accès ? Ça n'a alors aucun intérêt... Si on est tenté par certains sites de divertissement, cette extension ne répond pas à la problématique car l'utilisateur va libérer lui-même l'accès en un clic... Il faudrait que l'icône affiche un cadenas et soit grisée quand on est dans l'intervalle de temps où la blocklist est active. Là au moins on ne pourrait pas accéder aux sites web, et on devrait attendre que le temps soit écoulé. Je désinstalle car de toutes façons, j'utilise Freedom.to qui est super et répond à ce besoin.

en Works as specified. Doesn't do anything more than advertised, which is a good feature in a web blocker. I rarely get frustrated at it, which is probably the highest praise I can give a web blocker.
