by Firefox user 14329102, 7 years agoIt is a good and useful add-on with some minor problems (edited after contacted by support):
- the blacklist disappear after every auto update (so I suggest anyone with this problem to turn off the auto update from the add-on page and backup the list before manual update).
- the blocked sites/pages are still opening/loading in the background tabs/ windows and you still can see their preview in toolbar (in Win 7), see their name and hear any background sound/music they have set on autoplay. Only when you click that specific tab/Firefox window it trigger the block and the page become blocked.
- it really need a very basic feature to instant close the blocked sites tabs. There is no point in keeping those tabs open especially when often their number become really annoying.
My Firefox is v62.0.2 (64bit) and this problems could affect only this version.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Lunaa :3, 3 months agoadult block feature clearly doesnt work, blocks gaycity (based off another review) which seems to just be a lgbt support group center thingy, but does not block e621, a infamous furry porn site. Probably some stupid logic like erm actkually its just a art board that just so happens to be mainly porn but still.
i dont care much though im just using this to block character.ai - Rated 1 out of 5by Lapsha, 3 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19142838, 3 months agoNo intuitive way to actually start using this. It is installed, but I cannot actually block any sites.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Jaimes, 4 months agoDoes what it says on the tin. I just wish it worked faster. The webpage loads before BlockSite blocks it. Kind of a bummer, but better than nothing.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18835116, 5 months agoThank GOD there isn't an easily accessible "unblock website" button. it just closes the page instantly, and the place where I CAN remove them is easily forgettable. And you can just block the site then and there with a right-click!

- Rated 5 out of 5by François Villeneuve, 7 months agoJ'utilise des fois l'appli Self-Control pour bloquer mes sites de distractions, mais ça opère au niveau du système d'exploitation... Donc si tu bloques Facebook, tu bloques aussi Messenger et Instagram et WhatsApp. Avec BlockSite, je peux bloquer Facebook sur le Web sans me bloquer des messageries associé. Très simple, n'a pas besoin d'être compliqué.
