LeechBlock NG by James Anderson
Review by danielbr93
Rated 4 out of 5
by danielbr93, 2 years agoThe habit of opening a tab with CTRL + T, typing in "twitter" and pressing enter is still a thing, but with this extension, I might get rid of it.
Even after just a week, I notice how many more hours I save with it.
Not every hour turns into a productive one, but it's definitely better than endlessly scrolling social media or watching the 14th YouTube video for the day.
Some critcism and feedback:
1. The UI for the options is okay.
1.1 A more modern UI would be neat
1.2 Minimalistic/advanced view - making it easier and less overwhelming for people to get started
1.3 More "?" that when hovered over show explanations.
2. Pre-made examples for time and amount of hours for a certain period
2.1 Provide a short quiz "How often do you think do you waste time?" or "How much time do you want to save?" and depending on the 3-5 potential answers, the extensions sets up the most common settings.
3. Automatically suggest the most common websites to block.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Someone, 7 hours agoBrilliant addon just wish there was an option to block settings (at least for a bit) but besides that its pretty complete, having minimal times makes you think about every time you want to allow access to an app, it becomes a decision not a habit so you actually have to think about how you spend your time.

posted 2 hours agoThanks for the review. There are options to block settings. Look under "Access Control" in the General Options and also under "Advanced Options" for individual block sets. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19720449, 19 hours ago

THANKYOU james anderson - Rated 5 out of 5by SlateGray Vision, 16 days agoThis is amazing, highly customizable and has almost all the types of blocking I need. Best part is grouping of sites and applying block type (password protected, time restricted, etc) based on groups.
