Rogue Art 님의 리뷰
One of the best addons I have ever used--probably would miss this as much, if not more than an adblocker. It's very effective at blocking distracting sites and the impact on my daily life has been significant.
As far as impact on the browser, LeechBlock itself uses very little RAM and CPU as an addon and it works very quickly (no delay in intercepting) in blocking websites. I also like that it just sits there in its little corner in my browser--no random alerts asking you to download another addon/write a review, ads, etc. like some addons.
The choice of features are excellent--being able to use wildcards to block the distracting pages of a website and allowing the productive parts is genius. The override and delaying feature is pretty smart too. I've used a good mix of all these features in the last few months that I've been using the addon. My favorite one is probably the "immediately block when conditions are met" since it just forces me to get off of social media and other distracting websites unlike other blockers that only block new instances of a website.
Overall, this is a very useful and very interesting productivity tool. It's unreal to see an addon of this quality being produced for free and I'm glad that it has all the features and customization that it has. It's definitely achieved its goal as a productivity tool and has easily cut my time on distracting sites.

- Finally a good extension.
Highly recommend everyone to use this instead of other alternatives, including ethical and functionality ones.
This extension better supports wildcards and regular expressions. Not only that but it has a decent documentation about that and includes multiple features like lockdown, different block sets, easy "message from yourself" without custom code, timer and statistics. That was just amazing because I was able to block many domains I wished with more advanced filters.
I believe the only things I missed was search engine results blocks, which would be quite hard to implement. That would be very useful because I usually find domains I would not like to visit due to leech and psychological damage by searching. The extension does what it promises, though, and I can't ask for more.
________________________________
*My* ethical point of view below (which is not about how the extensions work or their features):
I don't recommend other popular alternatives like uBlocklist and Block Site because of another reason: They are HEAVILY vibe coded and this is the kind of shit that ruined Software Development for many people, me included. AI-"assisted" bullshit is horrendous and just destroyed the whole career. Not only that, but between every single LLM, the developers used Claude, by Anthropic; which is the most privacy invasive popular company I've seen thus far, Google included.
That is also more concerning than other models because of how integrated it is into deepfake generation, slop coding and AI-""art"". Antropo- from greek means human and -pic is a suffix for "in such manner". That being said, the fact a company promoting a product that replaces jobs, hobbies and makes us lose our humanity is named "human-like", is just absolutely absurd. - 5점 만점에 5점Firefox 사용자 20018876 님, 7일 전

Works for everything, the configuration is a little bit confusing so I don't have time limits or the thing where you get a certain amount of unblocked time every week which would be cool but that's because im too lazy to configure it and because honestly just turning it on and off alone is such a game changer I haven't really needed to sort the rest out. Thank you so much!!!!!

My only issue with it is that blocking a site overnight is harder than it needs to be, since the block time range only works if the second number is larger than the first.
That means setting 23:00-5:00 doesn't work, and you have to do both 23:00-24:00 and 00:00-5:00 instead. It works fine, but it sometimes says that the page will be unblocked at midnight even though it'll be immediately blocked right after.
Thank you for making this add-on! - After testing so many different distraction reducing apps, extensions, etc, this is the by far the best one i have found on any platform. It is incredibly detailed and customisable, with a focus mode (lockdown mode), different block sets, time based blocks, usage limit based blocking, customisable overrides (including limits on the duration and number of overrides), blocking pages, and so much more. My only wish is they turn it into an android app with similar functionality!
