LeechBlock NG by James Anderson

Rated 5 out of 5
by Kristian, 4 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 5 out of 5by Wren, 17 days agoA super useful extension to break free of the default "pull up "x" site and doom scroll for hours" programing. Tons of features and settings, but very intuitive and easy to get started with. Leaving lots of room to tweak as you need. Thank you so much for putting this out there.

- Rated 5 out of 5by D G, 20 days agoAs I've gotten older, I've become a type of person who is the opposite of a "morning person". Right now I'm unemployed and I have a lot of people who still have jobs on Linkedin. When I wake up in the morning, I have a tendency to click into Linkedin and get a nasty dose of their smugness in my "feed". I've opted to block linkedin until after noon, when I'm more mentally focused and have thicker skin against that stuff. Honestly some of the things I see on Linkedin trigger my PTSD from a terrible job loss I recently had. The less time I spend on something like that, the better. I really like how it has the "override" function, where if I need to search for a few jobs or something like that, I can still unblock it for that temporarily.
Finally, I really like the ability to "write a message to yourself" that pops up when it blocks. I put something there that was inspiring and uplifting.
Thank you for making this addon. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18848777, 22 days ago
