User reviews

SiteBlock is praised for its simplicity, effectiveness, and privacy-respecting open-source nature, making it a reliable tool to block distracting or unwanted websites. Users appreciate that it's free, easy to set up, and helps improve productivity by letting them manually add any site to the block list. However, multiple users have noted the absence of password protection, which could allow others to easily bypass restrictions. Some have faced issues like data loss of their blocked sites list, minor bugs, and the way sites load briefly before blocking.

Site loading in the background before being blocked in some cases.
