by Firefox user 15086187, 6 years agoWiped out tabs, can't return to websites, website addresses are deleted.
I installed this with tabs open in the firefox browser. When I changed to the tabs, the contents would be replaced with an ad for Blocksite. When I hit the back button the contents would be replaced again.
When i disabled Blocksite from Manage Extensions, those all tabs were closed. Looking in history/recently closed tabs, i don't see my tab names, it only says 'blocksite', when I reopen those, the tabs are opened with a blank pages, (with an web address of moz-extension://1a433477-5e82-4f78-b348-a664e3101618/blocked.html) and the back button is grayed out.
Essentially, BlockSite causes me to loose the tabs I had open and deletes the webpage address.
For some reason I cant find the options to control blocksite, add/remove websites, or even see an icon at the top of firefox. The only thing i see is the Enable and Remove buttons in Add-ons (Ctrl+Shift+A). There is no Options button, (like I have for Adblock Pus), so I can't control the add-on or even block spyware data collection.
This is after installing blocksite from https://addons.mozilla.org, adding a problem website address, and then closing the web page that allowed me to add the address to block.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Lunaa :3, 5 months agoadult block feature clearly doesnt work, blocks gaycity (based off another review) which seems to just be a lgbt support group center thingy, but does not block e621, a infamous furry porn site. Probably some stupid logic like erm actkually its just a art board that just so happens to be mainly porn but still.
i dont care much though im just using this to block character.ai - Rated 1 out of 5by Lapsha, 5 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19142838, 5 months agoNo intuitive way to actually start using this. It is installed, but I cannot actually block any sites.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Jaimes, 5 months agoDoes what it says on the tin. I just wish it worked faster. The webpage loads before BlockSite blocks it. Kind of a bummer, but better than nothing.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16458633, 6 months agoWith this addon, firefox uses twice as much CP as without it. I don't know why, but i'll rather delete it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18835116, 7 months agoThank GOD there isn't an easily accessible "unblock website" button. it just closes the page instantly, and the place where I CAN remove them is easily forgettable. And you can just block the site then and there with a right-click!

- Rated 5 out of 5by François Villeneuve, 8 months agoJ'utilise des fois l'appli Self-Control pour bloquer mes sites de distractions, mais ça opère au niveau du système d'exploitation... Donc si tu bloques Facebook, tu bloques aussi Messenger et Instagram et WhatsApp. Avec BlockSite, je peux bloquer Facebook sur le Web sans me bloquer des messageries associé. Très simple, n'a pas besoin d'être compliqué.
