User Reviews
Users broadly report that the add-on can block sites and help reduce distractions, with a visible orange banner and easy site-list management once you learn the right settings. However, reliability is a major issue: blocking can be inconsistent, setup is confusing, and some sites require subdomain rules. Privacy concerns are raised, and features like a password lock and actual URL blocking are missing. Some users also experience blocks not persisting after restarts. Overall, it's promising but still needs refinement. Pros
- Blocks distracting websites and helps focus.
- Easy to use once you figure out the correct Block domain / block domain & all subdomains setting.
- Orange banner on blocked pages provides clear visual feedback.
- Lists can be managed and backed up across devices.
- Sites can be added via the add-on page for blocking and list management.
Cons
- Blocking is inconsistent/unreliable across sites (some blocks work, others fail or are intermittent).
- Configuration is unintuitive and often requires using the Block domain & all subdomains option to work for certain sites.
- Privacy concerns: potential data collection through the extension.
- Missing password lock to protect the block list from changes.
- Blocking behavior can rely on redirects rather than truly blocking URLs, and changes may not persist after restart.

Is Website Blocker Safe?
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.
Website Blocker requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
- Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
- High ****** *** ********* ** ******* *** ******* ******* ** ****** *** *** ******** ******
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
Website Blocker has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
