LeechBlock NG by James Anderson
Review by danielbr93
Rated 4 out of 5
by danielbr93, 10 months agoThe habit of opening a tab with CTRL + T, typing in "twitter" and pressing enter is still a thing, but with this extension, I might get rid of it.
Even after just a week, I notice how many more hours I save with it.
Not every hour turns into a productive one, but it's definitely better than endlessly scrolling social media or watching the 14th YouTube video for the day.
Some critcism and feedback:
1. The UI for the options is okay.
1.1 A more modern UI would be neat
1.2 Minimalistic/advanced view - making it easier and less overwhelming for people to get started
1.3 More "?" that when hovered over show explanations.
2. Pre-made examples for time and amount of hours for a certain period
2.1 Provide a short quiz "How often do you think do you waste time?" or "How much time do you want to save?" and depending on the 3-5 potential answers, the extensions sets up the most common settings.
3. Automatically suggest the most common websites to block.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18620581, 4 days agoI was looking for ways to block sites. I liked the sound of LeechBlock. I installed it, and set it up to immediately block 3 popular social media platforms which I often find myself going to. It worked and I found contentment when I absent-mindedly reached for my phone and attempted to visit one of the blocked social media websites. I went ahead and installed the extension on my mobile device too! Recommended.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17658926, 8 days agoIf you are looking for blocker to save you from leech sites (social media, video platforms, porn, ...), this is the extension for you.
The author seems to really understand that our willpower is not infinite and this extension can make it really hard to access sites that leech on your attention.
100% recommended.
One thing I really miss is some automatic syncing to some external storate, so you can sync your mobile Firefox and PC Firefox frictionlessly. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18614998, 8 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Debashish Das, a month agoThis extension is fantastic. Why I haven't found this earlier?
It became my habit to open Facebook. Most of the time I don't even now when I have opened the tab. Now with this extension, I open Facebook only when I actually need this. - Rated 5 out of 5by Seb, a month ago
