- by mattymoo, 2 years agoRated 3 out of 5Kinda defeats the point that the toggle on off is so accessible

posted 2 years agoHey Mattymoo,
Thanks for sharing your feedback with us.
You can lock the on/off toggle by activating our Password Protection.
We are also working on making it more difficult to access the toggle in our upcoming versions. - by Dr.h.c. Jasimczak Josef of Ministry (RV/USA), 2 years agoRated 3 out of 5

- by Firefox user 15154932, 3 years agoRated 3 out of 5Well its nice that it can redirect the victims to somewhere else, such as a document explaining that they should not be, where they for some reason thought they were going to go.
... of course you can't use it to block anyone who knows how to disable addons (ctrl+shit+a + disable addon), but you would be surprised how few people know that (especially if you use it against children).
But against anyone with just a basic level of technical knowledge, you should edit the hosts file locally. - by Firefox user 15203688, 3 years agoRated 3 out of 5Does not allow redirects to IP addresses with port numbers associated. I have a docker container on a local server with a "GO F*CKING WORK" static page that I want to use instead of something with puppies or kittens.
Would otherwise be 4 stars since it does what it advertises on the tin, but not being able to use addresses with ports is lame.
Also, don't tell me to "put a proxy in front of it". - by Karl-Ludwig Grigo, 3 years agoRated 3 out of 5
- by Firefox user 15076512, 3 years agoRated 3 out of 5Seems to be constantly writing to disk
160KB every 2 seconds meaning over the course of a day it's written nearly 7GB to disk.
I believe this will reduce my SSD's life so I will not use this add-on until this issue is resolved. - by mohammad, 3 years agoRated 3 out of 5

- by Firefox user 14588063, 3 years agoRated 3 out of 5The adult content blocker does not work, the most common adult sites are still accesible. On the other hand, it is easy to bypass the password of the extension page only by removing the HTML node with the inspector. And finally, as a feature request, it would be useful if you implement a whole page word filter.
- by Firefox user 13474834, 3 years agoRated 3 out of 5Bad ux design. The blocked list is hard to find. White list / Black list are not clear enough.
- by Firefox user 14352703, 3 years agoRated 3 out of 5it blocks sites even if they are not on the list. Totally unrelated sites. Weird but it makes the add on unusable to me :/
- by Firefox user 12369950, 3 years agoRated 3 out of 5It seems to work VERY well with ONE MAJOR EXCEPTION... yes you block the site, but you put a full screen window up bragging about it. Can't you just block it SILENTLY? (Or provide a switch for silent blocks of some known sites??)
- by Firefox user 14504578, 4 years agoRated 3 out of 5The absence of an "options" button on the Firefox add ons page is absolutely maddening. I have to go on a ridiculous work-around to make changes to my blocklist. If it weren't for this, this would be a 5-star add on.

posted 4 years agoHi, all you have to do is click the extension icon and then click the settings icon at the top right corner. Then you can easily change your block list. If you still need help please write us at support@blocksite.co - by Firefox user 14474010, 4 years agoRated 3 out of 5It did what it said it would do but oddly enough it's getting picked up by my Malwarebytes scan as a threat and removed it.
So I'm not sure what to think about that.Developer response
posted 4 years agoHey, thanks for your review. BlockSite doesn’t contain any viruses or malware. We have been removed from the Malwarebytes list of harmful sites. Please contact us at support@blocksite.co if you have any questions. - by Firefox user 14389928, 4 years agoRated 3 out of 5This is great! I'd just the following additional options: the ability to toggle the ability to turn Blocksite on/off on the extension page, the ability to remove access to the extension webpage during work mode, the ability to customise work mode time and to toggle on/off work mode 5-minute breaks. I've put in some suggestions in the Google Form.
- by Firefox user 14268974, 4 years agoRated 3 out of 5It seems to do ALMOST everything I need it to. The one drawback is that the work mode timer seems to only work in 25 minute intervals. I work better in 60-90+ minute intervals.
I do appreciate that the developer seems to address such matters on the review pages. Perhaps there's a fix I haven't discovered yet.Developer response
posted 4 years agoHi, thank you for your review! We are working on the work mode feature so that you will be able to customize both the "work time" and "break time." Stay tuned! :) - by Firefox user 14259640, 4 years agoRated 3 out of 5This extension is quite useful but it has one big issue. It doesn't work in Private mode.
- by Firefox user 14174716, 4 years agoRated 3 out of 5The add on is cool but i have problem setting the schedule block. This extension keep blocking me even when schedule is over
