by courtbee, 2 months agoI love this add-on, it's helped me walk away from my laptop instead of wasting time scrolling websites like Pinterest for hours. It's also helped me with impulsive purchasing by putting a timed block on sites so I can 'window shop' for 5 minutes but then the site is blocked for 30 mins with a message on the block page I wrote myself saying "stop shopping, you're already in debt" and that 30 minute period is enough time for me to realize I don't really need anything I had added to my cart and alleviates the guilt/regret and shame of a package showing up a few days later full of shiny new objects that will just add to the clutter in my house that I'm trying to streamline to sell right now. I would recommend this site to anybody who struggles with impulse control or time blindness. The ability to add a message in your own words is so incredibly helpful too and is helping me refocus my easily distracted ADHD brain on tasks I need to be doing instead of chasing easy dopamine online. I've also added permanent blocks on sites I've shopped on that have resulted in unexpected additional fees like customs/brokerage charges that most companies include in their shipping charges these days. So many ways to leverage it to improve your mental and financial well being.

- Rated 5 out of 5by VeeroftheRoad, 18 hours agoExtremely helpful for my parents to limit my YouTube addiction and the time of day when I am allowed to watch.
(actually not written by me, but my dad... :o) - Rated 5 out of 5by Murly, 4 days agoThis extension helped me organise days better. I tend to forget how to organise my time, so I block the sites I usually lose time on when I know I should do something else.
The only thing I wished was there that isn't is an off button for certain blocks. You can alway override, but it's redundant and sometimes inconvenient. I wish I could store a block set and only use it when I need it instead of having of overriding it or deleting it and redoing it each time.
Excluding this nitpick, everithing is as great as it could be.Developer response
posted 4 days agoThanks for the review! Perhaps the lockdown feature provides the functionality you desire? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17886352, 4 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Jebach, a month agoExcellent addon. Here's what would be really great if it was added. An option to use a override on the blocked page, so don't have to go through the addon menu. Pretty simple QoL improvement which should also discourage the user from changing other addon settings once out of set overrides.
