Works great. Also blocks search engine results.

    I really, really like the idea of this. However it lacks any settings and forces options that don't work well in all cases. For example, it tries to load Gmail with safe mode on strict. In other words, you can't access Gmail because there is no such thing as safe mode on Gmail, so you get a 404.

    Thanks for your review - we released an update that should fix the Gmail issue.

    The addon is quite good but lack customization (youtube for example is unusable for me with it)

    Thanks for your review - the YouTube filter can be more aggressive at times than the Restricted Mode inside the YouTube app.

    This is an incredible extension and it is very good for people just looking to filter out stuff they dont want to see. All the other extensions that do what this does just dont work or are very clunky.

    The only reason im giving this extension a 4 star instead of 5 is because it really does need some customization. All I really want is a whitelist option for websites like youtube as this extension does what I want it to, but blocks some videos I like to watch on youtube.

    Since this app doesnt support a password to prevent removal and claims to be for self-management I see no reason why it should not also support a feature like this. If this feature is added I would happily redownload this filter onto my browser.

    Thanks for your review - customization is something we want to tackle at some point.

    Finally! I've tried many extensions. Some do a decent job at blocking porn websites but they never block Google Images searches. This one does!

    I've been trying to quit porn for a long time and whenever I'm feeling weak, I will go through Google. Starts off with normal searches and hours later ends up with porn.

    This extension is just a safe-guard to help me ask myself the question: Do I really want to go down this road again? Before I actually do it. Of course requires some self control, but this is helpful nonetheless.

    It works by forcing safe mode even if you try to turn it off.

    Thank you for making this.
