- Rated 5 out of 5by maadim, 17 days 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, 21 days 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, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by AN, 3 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, 3 months agoAwesome! One addon to rule many social networks at once. It will save some of my wasted time on those. Thanks for maintaining it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by purrperfpurrito, 3 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, 4 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, 4 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, 4 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Miles B Huff, 5 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.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Tasos, 5 months agoThe "Hide Suggested Posts" option for instagram home page, doesn't work anymore.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18814480, 5 months agoAbsolutely love this extension. It is extremely helpful. Just one thing, for IG, the "hide suggested posts" for homepage doesn't seem to be working. Please look into it. Other than that everything is great!
