My intended use case for this extension was to block various social media sites during work hours, but not outside work hours. No matter how I tweak the options, this extension blocks those sites both during the desired window and outside it, with rare random occasions where it won't block these sites (which have happened both during and after work hours). I'm baffled that I can't make such an apparently simple use case of this extension work! Either some setting has evaded my notice or is explained poorly, or this extension can't perform time and date based blocking like it claims, but in any case it isn't worth any more of my effort to try to make this extension work at this point.

Didn't work... Elaborating, it didn't work after adding a regex rule (maybe I should have tried harder, but I kind of quit after half a dozen tries, as the extension seems to add characters to the beginning and the ending of all inserted rules, regardless of them being necessary or not.) Even if it had worked, it'd be amazingly cumbersome to manage the rules, as, after added, they cannot be edited, just removed (there's an option to load a local text file with the rules, one per line, but then again, to edit one single rule, it requires the clicking on a purge button that removes all rules, then loading the file again...) It could simply have the rules in a textarea for free editing, like other blockers do, which would make it much easier to manage.

this is such a good extension dont know why people gave the bad ratings works completely fine and it does so much for free! its a really good extension for blocking websites would reccomend!

works for me and pretty useful tool

It's not just in private mode. Since... Few months (?) ago is not working animore, both in Chrome and in Firefox; private or not. The site isn't blocked at all and still appears complete instead the gray-background message of the extension informing about blocked site.
Anybody with the same issue or knows how to fix it or why it happens? I like so much this add-on and don't want to search another one...

I guess that needs an update since last is from later 2024 and some of you said about same issue since navigators' updates. Thanks and sorry for my english.

EDIT: I don't know why last updated appeared from 2024. I readed again the last reviews and see it was indeed updated again few time ago, when started failing. I searched updates, applied it and now works again like before. Thanks a lot.

As mentioned by a few other reviews, a Firefox update caused the extension to not work in private mode. The extension was updated in under a week to resolve the issue. Works well, active bug fixes, open source. Highly recommend.

very good tool to add additional security to your browser

The new update stopped allowing this extension to run in private mode. please fix, otherwise than this I give it 5 stars.

Simple and useful, but a few days ago, it stopped working in private windows. 5 star if this issue is fixed. (edit, this issue has been fixed)

вполне неплохо работает

it's great! When it works. At first, I was wondering if it was my regexp that was the issue; I tried to block sites without regex and... it still didn't work. However, sometimes it does work?? It's very strange and I wish I knew what caused this so that I could talk about it on GitHub...

Just installed and so far so good. Just what I needed.
Then I checked some negative reviews in this page and I couldn't verify that those guys maybe have some virus in their computers. Any way, I will continue using it and will post if something goes wrong.

Does what it needs to do.

Excellent. Thanks a lot Ray, nice extension.
