posted 3 years agoThanks for the review. I'd like to hear more about what you mean by "auto save". Perhaps post something to the suggestions forum? https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/leechblock/leechblock-forums-f1/ - Rated 4 out of 5by breathingtree, 3 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Tracey, 3 years agoAllows much more customizability than other timer apps I've found. That means I can keep my schedule in the Goldilocks zone of productivity and enjoyment. Thus I don't need to keep using willpower to reset it every time I want to avoid certain sites, and don't risk "forgetting" to use it.
However, the UI could be more intuitive - I often accidentally set it to do things I don't want. The override also doesn't work for me even though it displays a messages saying it has. This is a problem when I need to use certain sites. It happens whether I activate override before or after I run out of time. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15665131, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15202892, 4 years agoThe only cross-browser plugin for strategic site-blocking! I really love what the developer has done here and IMO less buggy than Stayfocusd. About the only thing it is missing is settings sync across browsers.

- Rated 4 out of 5by smayer97, 4 years agonice concept. Would be nice if Override function worked like Lockdown function, allowing you to select the length of time to override rather than being a predetermined fixed amount entered in preferences.
Would also be nice when using Lockdown that it would lockdown any overrides that were activated.
I really like that it locks out the ability to access Add-on options, support, etc. This is really useful!
Keep up the good work. - Rated 4 out of 5by Santi, 4 years agoSometimes it doesn't have the block options that I think for but it works fine.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15289832, 4 years agoIt was working amazing till today, when it gave me access to a blocked site again(I generally tried to open the site when I got distracted, saw that leechblock blocked it, and went back to working.). I went into lockdown and manually locked down for 100 hours and it locked the site down again. I don't know how it gave me access to that site though.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15203067, 4 years agoNice. Should have button: "Add this site" for quickly adding site to block

posted 4 years agoIt already does! Right-click on the LB button or on the web page (context menu). - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15179287, 4 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14974917, 4 years agoGreat addon for saving time.
One small bug: the settings screen doesn't display properly on Firefox for Android in portrait mode. The left hand side of the page is cut off (though works fine in landscape mode) - Rated 4 out of 5by Timothy Aditya Sutantyo, 4 years agoHello, it's been 20:08 GMT + 7, and I set all my blocked site to be unblocked at 19:00, but none of them have been unblocked. May I know what timezone this app use, so I can adapt to it. Thanks.

- Rated 4 out of 5by 11, 4 years agoIn firefox 66.0.2 I cannot update settings with the option " save & close " ... For some reason once has been closed up I can still joining blocked sites ... Can you actually check if this is happening ? I would appreciate if can be fixed up... Great add-on by the way. I would appreciate if you can answer me, thanks!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14616129, 5 years agoOh, performance... After deleting this add-on a CPU usage becomes 0-3% again (but it was 30%!)
Developer response
posted 5 years agoThanks for the review. Sorry to hear about the performance issue. I've had a few reports of it, but not enough to trace the problem. Please consider posting this as an issue on GitHub (see support page) so I can gather more info. Thanks!
