Best web-site blocker. Even if you type in your PIN to access the website, as soon as the link refreshes it will block the site again. Perfect for YouTube and other social media.

I recommend trying to use a random number as a PIN and challenging yourself to resist deleting the extension. This will definitely boost your productivity.
