LeechBlock NG by James Anderson
Review by Ipasd
Rated 4 out of 5
by Ipasd, 2 years agoThanks to this add-on, I think I'm finally on my way to overcome my surfing addiction.
This add-on has many different options to allow different kinds of blocking and also allows you to put them in groups called 'sets.' For example, you can block a website you never want to go on, block a website on certain times of the day, and websites that aren't blocked at all. All of these options can be activated simultaneously and that is what I think makes this add-on better than most others of the same purpose, where they generally only allow blocking and nothing else.
My only complaints (explaining the 4 stars instead of 5) are that the interface isn't as nice as it could be. I would like to be able to get to all the options without having to scroll a lot. Another complaint is that some descriptions don't feel quite as clear until you enable them for yourself.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Hollow, 15 days agoA capable and effective blocker.
Really love the option to close the tab of a blocked site before it can even load, that has definitely stopped me in my tracks from doomscrolling many times. - Rated 5 out of 5by b12o, 15 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by anonymoususer, 18 days agoPrevents me from doomscrolling social media. Probably more annoying than you think, but specifically in a way that fits its purpose. A minor inconvenience and a beautiful guardian angel. Five stars.
- Rated 5 out of 5by G. O'Neill, 18 days agoInfuriatingly excellent. I set a password for the settings, put the password on a thumb drive, and hid it, and I've never been able to cheat my restrictions. Leechblock has helped me get my life back in so many ways. I have a love/hate relationship with it because it's been so helpful for me, but I still find I want my sites!! Ah!! Love it so much. Five stars.

- Rated 5 out of 5by amber V, a month agoAn absolutely vital tool for the modern human. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that my life would be significantly worse in all regards without these features. This made combating my addictions tractable. Thank you.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Someone, a month agoBrilliant addon just wish there was an option to block settings (at least for a bit) but besides that its pretty complete, having minimal times makes you think about every time you want to allow access to an app, it becomes a decision not a habit so you actually have to think about how you spend your time.
Developer response
posted a month agoThanks for the review. There are options to block settings. Look under "Access Control" in the General Options and also under "Advanced Options" for individual block sets. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19720449, a month ago
