LeechBlock NG by James Anderson
Review by Benjamin Bach
Rated 5 out of 5
by Benjamin Bach, 7 years agoTHANKS! I've been a happy user of LeechBlock for about six months, and the NG version arrived just in time for Firefox 57 to come out. James Anderson, you're making me more productive and a happier person because I'm less exposed to the never-ending flow of bad news and nonsense of mass media... the guilty, non-focused 5-minute attention span of sudden twitter feed wrath... which I now block for most of the day. Hurray! Instead I can focus on reading more indepth news at appropriate times.
The NG (NextGen) version takes advantage of WebExtension features by appropriately reporting which data it needs access to and control over. This is a huge step forwards. It also installs faster and options panel seems more responsive.
I installed it and it worked first time -- I configured it, and it triggered first time I tried visiting a blocked site... without having to restart Firefox!
A few users have started reviewing a work-in-progress and complaining about features that are being developed or have arrived shortly after. You people should participate in development on Github instead.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Hera, 7 days agoI need to block a variety of sites in order to stop them draining my attention. Leechblock is flexible and easy to use.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Çağatay, 14 days agoReally good. I recommend only allowing yourself social media in certain days/hours and have it blocked most of the time.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Dusk, 14 days agoExactly what I was looking for with granular control in the users hands with ability to have different blocks at the same time
- Rated 5 out of 5by Al, 16 days agoHi Dev! I know this isn't something that's your fault, but I would love if Android had the ability to lock extensions like desktop can, it's unfortunate I can uninstall this. Can you share a link to a discussion/open issue about this so we can maybe get implementation worked on faster? I recommend that we all go to the link and do what we need to so we can get the feature implemented for FF Android.
Also is there a way to sync block lists to a cloud service such as what ublocklist does with it's app integration to Google Drive? It would make the extension so much faster to set up.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alyssa, 17 days agoThis extension has been a game changer for productivity. While it took some experimentation to set up, the program works every time. I can't recommend it enough.
