- Rated 5 out of 5by GAL, 4 years agoExcellent, simple to use, highly flexible so that you can setup the kind of help you need. It really helped me improve my focus at work.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16423880, 4 years agoWorks almost as intended. I blocked Youtube for starters and as long as I'm actively interacting with or giving focus to firefox, the counter is ticking down. The moment I'll click on something on my second monitor (in this case, Discord) the counter stops after two seconds. This has been reproduceable. I'll use it further as a reminder for myself, but sadly it's not working as I need it right now :/
Edit: Thanks! Is working as wished :)Developer response
posted 4 years agoUncheck the option "Count time spent on these sites only when browser tab is active" as a workaround. The next release will include an option to treat all browser windows as focused. - Rated 5 out of 5by 大水川过, 4 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12797025, 4 years agoWorks as intended, but ended up disabling it when I discovered it is the reason that Firefox is never idling. So I have many tabs, and this plugin is always keeping 10% of the CPU busy (2 processes at 5% each). Disabling the plugin makes the problem go away. My version is 1.0.7.
The workaround mentioned in the FAQ did not work: count only active tabs setting did not make a difference for me.
The reason mentioned in the FAQ for this behaviour is:
> LeechBlock reviews all open tabs every second, to keep track of how much time is spent on the sites listed in your block sets and to determine whether any sites should now be blocked.
I do not need this "feature", I just want to disable access to certain websites from 9 to 5. Since I can't disable the feature, I had to disable the addon and search for a simple one. - Rated 5 out of 5by Cecilia Luiza, 4 years ago

posted 4 years agoDid you select the option "Allow temporary override for these sites" for the relevant block sites?- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15549841, 4 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Texas Matt, 4 years agoJust when you thought there was no paradox in leech blocking to be found, Prof. James Anderson displays a thorough "analysis of its character, presence, and epistemic status" for the interwebs! Well done...
