User reviews

Users find AppBlock effective and useful for blocking distracting websites, helping improve focus and productivity. However, common concerns include lack of sync between mobile and desktop versions, the ability to uninstall the extension despite Strict Mode, recurring bugs causing loss of setups or malfunction, and absence of a centralized login for cross-device syncing. Overall, it is praised for features and the mobile app, but the desktop extension needs stability and usability improvements.

Pros

Helps users stay focused and be productive by blocking distracting websites.
Works fast and effectively for blocking sites.
Offers a richer set of features compared to some competing extensions.
Compliments the mobile app and helps improve overall life quality.
Intuitive and easy to use, useful for managing distractions during tasks like online courses.

Cons

Lacks synchronization between mobile and desktop versions, requiring duplicate setup.
Extension can be easily removed even when Strict Mode is active, reducing its effectiveness.
Frequent bugs and instability, including schedules being lost or extension breaking.
No centralized login system across devices, making it inconvenient to manage settings.
Limited scheduling flexibility and occasional issues with blocking by keywords causing overblocking or improper blocking.

I was trying to see if the Extension could be removed while the Strict Mode is active and it can be removed. I love the mobile app and I wanted to give the Desktop extension a try. It works well, but the extension can be easily removed even if Strict Mode is active. It would be great if you guys can add a feature so that the extension could not be removed while Strict Mode is Active.

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.

AppBlock - Block sites & Stay focused requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
