LeechBlock NG di James Anderson
Recensione di courtbee
I love this add-on, it's helped me walk away from my laptop instead of wasting time scrolling websites like Pinterest for hours. It's also helped me with impulsive purchasing by putting a timed block on sites so I can 'window shop' for 5 minutes but then the site is blocked for 30 mins with a message on the block page I wrote myself saying "stop shopping, you're already in debt" and that 30 minute period is enough time for me to realize I don't really need anything I had added to my cart and alleviates the guilt/regret and shame of a package showing up a few days later full of shiny new objects that will just add to the clutter in my house that I'm trying to streamline to sell right now. I would recommend this site to anybody who struggles with impulse control or time blindness. The ability to add a message in your own words is so incredibly helpful too and is helping me refocus my easily distracted ADHD brain on tasks I need to be doing instead of chasing easy dopamine online. I've also added permanent blocks on sites I've shopped on that have resulted in unexpected additional fees like customs/brokerage charges that most companies include in their shipping charges these days. So many ways to leverage it to improve your mental and financial well being.

- Valutata 4 su 5di Utente Firefox 19784493, 2 giorni faLeechBlock NG is a masterpiece on the desktop, but be careful if you are using it on Android to fight a serious scrolling addiction.
The "Advanced Options" that allow you to block about:addons or about:config simply do not work on the Firefox Mobile app. On Android, the Add-on manager is part of the browser's native UI, not a web page that the extension can "hook" into. This means there is no way to prevent yourself from simply clicking the three dots and deactivating or deleting the extension whenever you feel a craving for YouTube or Instagram.
If you are like me and looking for a "hard lock" that you can't bypass by just deleting the addon, this isn't it for mobile. On a PC, you can use the password/USB-stick trick to lock yourself out of the settings, but on a Samsung or any other Android phone, the browser's own menu provides a permanent backdoor.
Pros: Same great filtering engine as desktop.
Cons: Cannot prevent deactivation/uninstallation on mobile due to Android Firefox limitations. - Valutata 5 su 5di inactive_user_3000, 6 giorni faExtremely helpful in order to prevent myself from doomscrolling randomly throughout the day. I feel like regaining active control of my consumption, given how interconnected social media and in general, highly addictive services are within the internet are. Although the interface is not particularly beautfiful, I recommend this to anyone willing to regain some control.

- Valutata 1 su 5di Surfingpika, 16 giorni faWhile I am so far indeterminate of the effectiveness of the extension, I feel I am personally obligated to give this a one-star review as the developer holds several viewpoints that I find not only personally offensive and disgusting, but also contributive to harassment, abuse and violence that impacts millions of people daily. The viewpoints in question are transphobia, far-right Christianity, and (heavily implied) homophobia. While the developer may have changed his opinion on these topics in the several months that he has not posted them on his blog, in which case I would be thrilled, I find it likely that he has not; hence this review.
Furthermore, I would like to note that he speaks eloquently and passionately on these issues, which I respect. I am usually not one to judge based on political views and am of the opinion that it is only through communication and interpersonal understanding that we will achieve peace and cooperation. This is not a personal attack, per se, and there are still qualities about him that I can see and appreciate; he must simply change his opinions and all shall be well.
If he is open to discussion regarding these views, he may contact me at gwimauve@gmail.com. I ask of nothing but a simple sharing of viewpoints; I wish to understand this mindset better.Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 15 giorni faThank you for the 'review'! I learned a lot from it and I'm sure others will too. I gratefully accept the single star as a supererogatory act on your part. 🙂
"He must simply change his opinions and all shall be well." It is kind of you to offer me such a reasonable way out of the predicament in which I find myself. I am in your debt! - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 19206772, 17 giorni fa

- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 15152802, 22 giorni faGreat for keeping me focused and on track. I've recommended it to friends.
- Valutata 5 su 5di TheAnonymousAutist, 22 giorni faThis is a really good and effective extension for parents and children alike. I have never seen or heard of the functionalities of the extension, but it seems to be becoming a greater necessity for those with disabilities that have severe addiction on social media.
And it has a lot of potential to be a great extension made by a passionate extension developer that just wants the necessary freedom to make this very effective web blocker addiction extension.
As a superadapted Autistic person that already suffered dozens of obstacles for the past decade, this extension has to be the best extension for parental controls, website restrictions, locking down websites, and overall the least CPU-intensive web blocker extension.
And I hope that dozens of others with Autism - like me - to start adapting and using the extension on the most efficient way imaginable.
Your extreme levels of confidence and self-determination has made me download your extension because of your honesty and passion! And I have never seen a extension this extraordinary and well-made for combating major dangerous platforms out there.
Keep up the fight against major corporations!
And thank you for creating this extension, James!
You are extremely passionate and honest, and is willing to work with Mozilla for the future to come!
Keep that momentum up!
And be always confident on yourself.
And please make open-source surfing more popular again for the forseeable future!
Also, if you have ever heard about the Electronic Frontier Foundation, can you reach them out for a collabration on new extensions for the future?
That would have been amazing if you did that!
I already started blocking major platforms contributing to the majority of the internet dangers out there, making categories for addictive and dangerous platforms and websites alike.
And I loved your work and effort on this extension. Keep it up, man!

- Valutata 5 su 5di Cheese, 23 giorni faExcellent extension! I use it when I need to study and it does a great job keeping me focused and off social media. It has plenty of customization options and different block-sets so you can curate it in a way that works perfectly for whatever you need. I highly recommend this if you have any sort of trouble spending tons of time on sites when it could be spent better :)
