Note: Review of the extension, not the service.

It always worked fine on chrome, but on firefox it refuses to detect an active session. So nothing is blocked.

Here's the deal. The people rating this one star don't understand what this is for. This is intended as an extension of their downloadable software, not as a stand-alone browser extension. Stand-alone extensions already exist -- and work well (see leech blocker). Would it be nice if their product didn't rely on an extension? Yes. Is it inconvenient? No.

Timer should be limited to sites you're actually limiting, or at least have the option to be. It gets in the way, is distracting, or is otherwise a problem on all other sites, but I really need a timer visible on the site I'm trying to limit.

Works pretty good, but too easy to delete it to bypass blocks.

Need to create an account for a website blocker extension - or else it doesn't work!?

Works great to sync across accounts. I have a paid subscription that i like a lot for the phone that i use, but there isn't an app for a Linux laptop. This add-on is a good solution to at least block websites on the laptop, which is my biggest distraction.

Sadly the Firefox extension on Mac does not worked properly.

When it worked once, it was great, but then I could never get it to work again...

I have tried to restart the machine, reinstalling the extension, restarting the Freedom desktop app, nothing seems to do the trick.

A website blocker that requires you to sign up for an account and then pay a subscription and run a desktop app? Yeah, no thanks. I mean, sure, if they're selling an entire block-all-apps-suite, have at it. But advertising this addon as a website blocker, then requiring you to sign up for an account is a bit bleh. I'm sure it would make for much better PR for the rest of the tools, if the addon was usable as a standalone website blocker, with no account-forcing necessary.

doesn't work properly on Firefox (green screen + blocks), doesn't work properly at all actually

App looked great, but I'm annoyed by the deceptive way in which they encourage you to download, sign up and only then tell you that it's a paid-for product. Pricing needs to be much clearer.

It's not that I dislike Freedom as a service--in fact, I like it quite a lot-- but the browser extension just doesn't seem to be doing anything to help, and the computer works exactly the same way, whether you have the extension installed or not. I do not see any point in installing this extension at all.
