by DarseZ, 8 years agoHello, love this add-on!
Would you be able to remove the requirement to have "Access to all data on all websites"?
It doesn't seem that you would need to require this, just the URL only...please correct me if I'm incorrect on this assumption.
Developers may say they don't use any form/login/password data but there's no way for the end user to know. Many of the revised 57+ add-ons have this blanket permission and in many cases it doesn't seem necessary...in my uneducated opinion, of course. I'm open to being schooled.
Thank you and best wishes!

posted 8 years agoHappy to address this. Honestly, I'm not sure why Firefox gives that rather scary warning. It could be because LB uses a content script to display the countdown timer and warning message within the tab, over the web page. (Content scripts can, in principle, access all data on the web pages you view.) It could be because LB requests 'tabs' permission, so it can intermittently check whether block conditions are met for all open tabs, not just the active tab. I'll look into it. In any event, all the source code is publicly available on GitHub, so you can check that LB isn't doing anything untoward!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19197205, 3 days agoThe design is confusing and I know she's gonna tell me to go post on her forums for assistance, but like that's also a problem.
But the real problem was that I found out the author is severally transphobic and that's a no from me - Rated 5 out of 5by gator, 4 days agoAmazing! Very customizable and has so many options presented in an organized way. This has saved me so much time. UI is a bit hard to grasp at first, but once you get used to it you get to appreciate the tons of functions.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12856653, 17 days agoLeechBlock works very well. I use it on Chrome and Safari. It prevents me from going down the rabbit holes of Youtube and news feeds during the middle of the day.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Tember, a month agoEvery time I think I've stumbled upon a feature that I think is absent it always seems to exist when I look a little further into it. Works perfectly.
Thank you James for this addon! - Rated 5 out of 5by Molly, a month agoBit of a learning curve but after that it's easy to use and works flawlessly!
