- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14806939, 5 years agoThis tool has been the biggest help. Clearly, the author of this tool understands the doctrine of total depravity. :-)
- Rated 5 out of 5by leylin, 5 years agoEdit: lol nvm i didnt realize there was a website with a FAQ, it's crazy how powerful this is
---original: these things exist!---
I wish there was a whitelist feature, because sometimes wikipedia and a bunch of other sites i can't list all of are useful for work and other times they're a distraction.
Also, it can't kick me off of a site that im on, it only blocks it when it refreshes. Tumblr is an endless scroll site and if i run out of time it doesn't kick me off until i manually refresh itDeveloper response
posted 5 years agoThanks for the review!
On the first point, see: https://www.proginosko.com/leechblock/faq/exceptions/
On the second point, be sure to select the option "Immediately block pages on these sites once blocking conditions are met". - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12146491, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jordan, 5 years agoMe writing this review is a sign that it is working. I would definitely be on social media if it weren't for this add-on. I used the Stayfocusd extention for Chrome previously and this add-on is a perfect replacement.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13547186, 5 years agoSimple to use, has a number of powerful options, and a pleasant but unobtrusive default "sorry, can't visit" screen. Works great!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Flimm, 5 years agoI have been using this for years, and I was delighted when the author took the time to rewrite the extension to work with newer Firefox versions, and with Chromium browsers too! Well done! It also works with Firefox Sync (go its settings to enable that). The settings are a bit hard to understand at first, but there many more settings than anything else that I've tried.
The only thing that it lacks is that the settings page is not suitable for small screens on Firefox for Android.
This is the first browser extension that I have ever donated to. - Rated 5 out of 5by arekk, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by iso, 5 years agoMade an account just so I could rate this.
The delay page really is the killer feature for me. I can set the timer to just long enough so that I stop the impulsion, but just short enough so that if I really need to access something during the block period I can, if I feel like waiting (which I usually don't). Alt-tabbing also cancels the countdown by default. The statistics breakdown for each blocking group is also brilliant.
There's a lot more features to this extension I haven't tried, but for now the way I have it set up works really well.
All of this under a copyleft license means a big thumbs up from me. I can't give enough praise! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13888127, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Aksell, 5 years agoFinally a blocking extension that has everything! Clever grouping of sites with functionality for: delaying access, setting a max time and setting a schedule. And even if one site is in several groups and has multiple rules tied to it, the blocking rules interact and work together as one would expect! Very happy with this.
