Features & Capabilities

mediaBlock is a powerful Chrome extension designed to create a distraction-free online environment by blocking various media forms. It offers three main features: blocking all images to eliminate distracting visuals, filtering out text containing user-defined unwanted keywords, and blocking entire websites known to consume excessive time. Unlike typical content blockers, mediaBlock aims to help users gradually reduce reliance on distracting media and social platforms, enabling them to reclaim hundreds of free hours.

Developed initially for personal use by Alexandre Leonetti, mediaBlock transforms the internet experience into a more book-like, focused space. Users can customize keyword and website blocklists to fit their individual needs. Future versions promise even more enhancements. Experience the benefit of focused browsing and increased productivity by trying mediaBlock for one or two weeks.

Is mediaBlock 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.

mediaBlock requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

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