- Rated 5 out of 5by maadim, 6 months agoBest anti-phone-addiction app EVER. I love that you can turn off stories, shorts and reels! Been looking for this for quite a while
- Rated 5 out of 5by Notafan, 6 months agoI use the iOS Safari version and Firefox on the desktop.
Amazing, slowly neutering the appeal of social media. Has been great for my YouTube habit and negative feelings from Instagram stories.
Not totally unhooked yet, but having a great effect. I felt boredom and started to read a book, amazing. Kills the endless scroll, exactly what I was looking for.
So happy this works on iOS in Safari too. Beyond ad-blockers this is the new web essential for our age. Where ads are annoying, but arguably immoral to block because they supply money to sites, this is 100% totally moral because it shows how similar certain features in social media are to nicotine in cigarettes, and also how easily companies could remove them and have measurably positive outcomes on society.
Keep doing the good work!
Ps. One request would be the Instagram stories ring around people's profile picture's, that would be a great thing to be able to block! - Rated 5 out of 5by Cris, 7 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by AN, 8 months agoAbsolutely the best social media blocker / restrictor out there. Using to block suggested pages and AI generated content, as well as prevent doomscrolling of feeds or display of up/downvotes.
From some other reviews: it may not be clear for some people that in order for the add-on to work you first have to navigate to the site you wish to block, load it, and then click the add-on to toggle the settings for that site. - Rated 5 out of 5by Nicolas LIENART, 8 months agoA must have! This is one addon to rule them all. It supports many social networks and I couldn't find any alternative to it. It comes with nice customization features, which makes it pretty convenient to adapt to your needs. It already helped saving precious hours of my time. Thanks for maintaining it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by purrperfpurrito, 8 months agoMind-blowing. Amazing. Cured my dopamine addiction! Resolved my emotional trauma!
Made YouTube fun! I can't imagine using any other browser without this extension! - Rated 3 out of 5by Diego Alcántara, 9 months agoPlease make it Open Source so we can see that no user/password information from the social media site we consume is used in any way by this extension
- Rated 5 out of 5by Rudolf_Snail, 9 months agoDeeply useful and helpful extension for taking back your focus and time. It deserves more recognition.
Thank you for this extension, Yevhen Tretiakov. - Rated 5 out of 5by Chanith6.9, 9 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Miles B Huff, 10 months agoIt's a great extension, but it's closed-source and has access to everything we do on websites, including username and password entry. And for this reason, I cannot use it: I have no way to know that it is not harvesting usernames and passwords.
