LeechBlock NG by James Anderson
Review by Kristian
Rated 5 out of 5
by Kristian, 5 years agoWorks really well, it saves me a lot of time I would otherwise waste with scrolling through YouTube or Reddit!
I have noticed that it is very easy to access the blocked sites by disabling the Addon from the addons page, which takes only a few clicks. This is probably not changeable from the extension code (to prevent bloatware extensions from blocking their removal), however, you can lock the extension yourself using the Firefox policy system, which prevents removal https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson
For reference, this is what I put into my policies.json:
{
"policies": {
"Extensions": {
"Locked": ["leechblockng@proginosko.com"]
},
"ExtensionSettings": {
"leechblockng@proginosko.com": {
"installation_mode": "force_installed",
"install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/leechblock-ng/latest.xpi"
}
}
}
}
This way, you have to remove the file and restart firefox, for me this is cumbersome enough to stop me from disabling the extension.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19197205, 7 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, 9 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 Firefox user 12856653, 22 days agoLeechBlock works very well. I use it on Chrome and Safari. It prevents me from going down the rabbit holes of Youtube and news feeds during the middle of the day.

Thank you James for this addon!
