LeechBlock NG by James Anderson

Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 12797025, 5 years agoWorks as intended, but ended up disabling it when I discovered it is the reason that Firefox is never idling. So I have many tabs, and this plugin is always keeping 10% of the CPU busy (2 processes at 5% each). Disabling the plugin makes the problem go away. My version is 1.0.7.
The workaround mentioned in the FAQ did not work: count only active tabs setting did not make a difference for me.
The reason mentioned in the FAQ for this behaviour is:
> LeechBlock reviews all open tabs every second, to keep track of how much time is spent on the sites listed in your block sets and to determine whether any sites should now be blocked.
I do not need this "feature", I just want to disable access to certain websites from 9 to 5. Since I can't disable the feature, I had to disable the addon and search for a simple one.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Hollow, 15 days agoA capable and effective blocker.
Really love the option to close the tab of a blocked site before it can even load, that has definitely stopped me in my tracks from doomscrolling many times. - Rated 5 out of 5by b12o, 15 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by anonymoususer, 18 days agoPrevents me from doomscrolling social media. Probably more annoying than you think, but specifically in a way that fits its purpose. A minor inconvenience and a beautiful guardian angel. Five stars.
- Rated 5 out of 5by G. O'Neill, 18 days agoInfuriatingly excellent. I set a password for the settings, put the password on a thumb drive, and hid it, and I've never been able to cheat my restrictions. Leechblock has helped me get my life back in so many ways. I have a love/hate relationship with it because it's been so helpful for me, but I still find I want my sites!! Ah!! Love it so much. Five stars.

- Rated 5 out of 5by amber V, a month agoAn absolutely vital tool for the modern human. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that my life would be significantly worse in all regards without these features. This made combating my addictions tractable. Thank you.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Someone, a month agoBrilliant addon just wish there was an option to block settings (at least for a bit) but besides that its pretty complete, having minimal times makes you think about every time you want to allow access to an app, it becomes a decision not a habit so you actually have to think about how you spend your time.
Developer response
posted a month agoThanks for the review. There are options to block settings. Look under "Access Control" in the General Options and also under "Advanced Options" for individual block sets. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19720449, a month ago
