Good, but need a black theme.

Just the same as all other blockers - opens another tab merely to inform one that the site is blocked. If I want to block a site, I want it blocked - period. I don't another tab opened to tell me it's blocked.

Extension safety

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.

Don't Visit - Block Sites requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
