flexible blocker

This free extension aims to be a site blocker offering more flexibility regarding permissions than every other offering on the store. By doing so, users should find it easier to stick to the blocker's restrictions.

Main features: STANDARD SITE BLOCKING No-frills site blocking based on domain matching

REQUIRE WRITTEN CONFIRMATION BEFORE ACCESSING SITES You can choose to visit youtube.com for the next two hours, but you'll also have to type "I have taken time to think about what I am doing3 an5 won't re8ret this later on" before that.

ONLY BLOCK SITES AT CERTAIN TIMES, based on month/weekday/time of day. Time-based restrictions can be combined together to increase amount of allowed times.

One of the main issues I had with other site blockers was that I always ended up finding legitimate reasons to temporarily deactivate them. Blanket blocking sites would work for a period of time, but grew annoying when my friends wanted to watch Netflix. Blocking sites based on time of day was a step in the right direction, but was ultimately limited by the fact that on rare occasions my work would require me to use usually unproductive sites throughout the day. Example: I use YouTube mostly to kill time, so YouTube was naturally a good candidate to get blocked. However, every once in a blue moon, I also use YouTube to watch tutorials on cooking, installing bikes, and running Docker. Waiting until after 5PM to do all this stuff is a pain.
