LeechBlock NG by James Anderson
Review by Benjamin Bach
Rated 5 out of 5
by Benjamin Bach, 8 years agoTHANKS! I've been a happy user of LeechBlock for about six months, and the NG version arrived just in time for Firefox 57 to come out. James Anderson, you're making me more productive and a happier person because I'm less exposed to the never-ending flow of bad news and nonsense of mass media... the guilty, non-focused 5-minute attention span of sudden twitter feed wrath... which I now block for most of the day. Hurray! Instead I can focus on reading more indepth news at appropriate times.
The NG (NextGen) version takes advantage of WebExtension features by appropriately reporting which data it needs access to and control over. This is a huge step forwards. It also installs faster and options panel seems more responsive.
I installed it and it worked first time -- I configured it, and it triggered first time I tried visiting a blocked site... without having to restart Firefox!
A few users have started reviewing a work-in-progress and complaining about features that are being developed or have arrived shortly after. You people should participate in development on Github instead.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19197205, 3 days agoThe design is confusing and I know she's gonna tell me to go post on her forums for assistance, but like that's also a problem.
But the real problem was that I found out the author is severally transphobic and that's a no from me - Rated 5 out of 5by gator, 4 days agoAmazing! Very customizable and has so many options presented in an organized way. This has saved me so much time. UI is a bit hard to grasp at first, but once you get used to it you get to appreciate the tons of functions.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Tember, a month agoEvery time I think I've stumbled upon a feature that I think is absent it always seems to exist when I look a little further into it. Works perfectly.
Thank you James for this addon! - Rated 5 out of 5by Molly, a month agoBit of a learning curve but after that it's easy to use and works flawlessly!
