User reviews
Works as advertised for those who lack the self control to keep themselves from browsing sites that are not related to the task at hand, but somehow DO have the self control not to click a few times to disable the extension ... whoever those people are.
However, the title of "Do Not Disturb" implies to me that the extension will also keep those sites from actively disturbing me with Chrome notifications - which it does not seem to do.
I think a better name would be something like "Stay on target" (excuse the Star Wars reference).
For what it's worth the ChromeOS version of the Chrome browser (ie. Chromebooks) has a built-in "Do not disturb" feature, but it was removed from all other versions of Chrome.

For Chromebooks just click the notification center/counter in your task bar and then click the bell icon with a slash through it.
Why they won't add "Do not disturb" back for the other OS's is beyond me. But, they don't show any signs of doing so.

Simplesmente não funciona. Bloqueia TODOS os sites (ou quase).
It simply doesn't work. It blocks everything!

походу единственный способ от самооткрывающихся окон (червь BAR). Хотя слегка и приходится заморачиваться с разрешёнными сайтами, но зато работает как часы
