It has helped me a lot. I'm using it to block Youtube (which is a big distraction for me). I'm recovering my relationship with books.
I don't want to sound commercial-ish, but "Thanks James Anderson"!

Everything aside discarding remaining time works! Great Addon!

This is one of the most incredible things on the internet. I downloaded it to try to help me focus during zoom classes over Covid. Since then, I've slowly used it more and more to help me stay focused and on track while on the browser. While it's not a panacea (at some point, you just have to make the right choices), it has helped me so much. I can't count the number of times I realized a feature would be useful, only for this to already have it. If you are looking for something to block websites/impose time limits/help with your screen time usage, this is the thing. Thank you so much for this extension!!

Even though it seems complicated at first to use (has 6 tabs for blocking domains and they don't work unless you block all day), after you understand how it works, it's great.

Also I love that it's open source and hosted on Github.

Best tool to save me from myself

Really great website blocker with more functionality than i know how to use

Its really great addon.
but these is a problem with it.
I use a filter like this
```
youtube.com
~*cs50*
```
and also I checked "Treat keywords as allow-conditions rather than block-conditions" and I wonder that this addon open youtube homepage (which obiviously this happens when there is a 'cs50' video in the homepage) BUT when I click on that cs50 video to watch it, this addon block the `watch` page (while there is a 'cs50' in the video title under the video player). MAYBE this addon does NOT check the headings! please fix this problem

Good, easy-to-understand app that can easily block sites on short notice.

Very customizable and flexible, if you are remotely tech savvy you can get the most out of it!

Great in every way

Great extension. The one thing that makes it stand out for me from its counterpart is the ability to access the extension via the right-click. It would be great if the dev could allow users to block a website just by right clicking on its url and add it to one of the presets. As of now, doing this would only result in the website you are currently on being blocked.

excellent extension. Wish it could stop twitter automatically after 5 minutes in the middle of scrolling, instead of only stopping when i click on a link/tweet

The habit of opening a tab with CTRL + T, typing in "twitter" and pressing enter is still a thing, but with this extension, I might get rid of it.
Even after just a week, I notice how many more hours I save with it.
Not every hour turns into a productive one, but it's definitely better than endlessly scrolling social media or watching the 14th YouTube video for the day.

Some critcism and feedback:
1. The UI for the options is okay.
1.1 A more modern UI would be neat
1.2 Minimalistic/advanced view - making it easier and less overwhelming for people to get started
1.3 More "?" that when hovered over show explanations.
2. Pre-made examples for time and amount of hours for a certain period
2.1 Provide a short quiz "How often do you think do you waste time?" or "How much time do you want to save?" and depending on the 3-5 potential answers, the extensions sets up the most common settings.
3. Automatically suggest the most common websites to block.
