- Rated 5 out of 5by Lunakri, a year agoIt's not a silver bullet against procrastination, but it is, like, a regular bullet, and those are pretty useful too

- Rated 2 out of 5by Peter, 2 years agoTime block is not optional.
Screen says 'Enter the time periods within which to block these sites (optional)'.
But leaving it empty makes the plugin to skip everything in the list. So not optional at all.Developer response
posted 2 years agoIt is optional, because you can enter a time limit instead of time periods. If you don't enter either time periods or a time limit, then, of course, nothing will be blocked. You have to specify one or the other. Otherwise, how would the extension know when you want the sites blocked? - Rated 5 out of 5by Pepper, 2 years agoExcellent plugin for browser, but has become completely unusuable on mobile. Requires opening the extension and saving options again to get it to start blocking the current tab, which defeats the purpose.
edit: seems this is on Firefox's end, solution is possible by not using filters (I think)Developer response
posted 2 years agoYeah, unfortunately there are issues with Firefox for Android: https://github.com/proginosko/LeechBlockNG/issues/419
Hoping to see a fix before too long. - Rated 3 out of 5by Gentle, 2 years agoWe wrote about how this extension makes firefox unresponsive, though it kind of is our fault for having 20 000 tabs open.
The developer responded -immediately- with a fix which we really appreciate and were surprised by. They told us to go to enable a performance setting in the general tab, that only considers active tabs.
However, the fix didn't work. It made firefox a little more responsive, but in that we only had to wait one minute per interaction with the browser instead of three.Developer response
posted 2 years agoThe other thing you could try is increasing the value of the "Process tabs every __ second(s)" option. With 20,000 tabs open (!) there's going to have to be a trade-off somewhere. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16211741, 2 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by JLGQ|, 2 years agoSirve y mucho, es bastante buena extensión, lo único que hecho en falta es una opción de no deshabilitar para que uno no recaiga en momentos de debilidad y también que no funciona tan bien con pornhub, si tienes el enlace de un vídeo te deja meter aunque sea solo usando el buscador.
