- Rated 5 out of 5by Jaime, 6 years agoGreat tool to back up the decision of focusing more during the workday. Love it!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14793316, 6 years agoAmazing app. Helped me block all the distracting websites and makes sure I concentrate on my work.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14788536, 6 years agoTremendously useful addon. Once a week I need a no-distraction session and leechblock helped me in that.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14783103, 6 years agoLeechBlock is a great, simple, flexible app. I've started to become very concioius of what information (news, social media, video, etc) I'm consuming and so many "time wasting" websites become habits that are hard to break. LeechBlock really helps me recover my time an effective way.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Bill Peschel, 6 years agoThis is saving my writing career. Easy to set to block the sites I know I want to visit, while leaving the sites (like Google Books) that I need for research. Easy to disable (sometimes) if I want to spend my precious life energy on wasteful activities. But when it works, and I try to visit my verboten site, it shows the blocked access screen and I breath easy and refocus on work. Highly recommended.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14743366, 6 years agoHonestly, I created an account just to review this add-on. I know LeechBlock is very simple, yet it has greatly improved my work. I'm doing a PhD and should manage my time by my-self. Thus, I am free to procrastinate, which lead to very bad habits. I was introduced to LeechBlock by my girlfriend and it is doing an amazing job for me! I stopped thinking about procrastinating, am a more effective person in general and my work is beginning to lift off. Thanks!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14734657, 6 years agoI put this on for Reddit, Twitter and Youtube with 5 minute allowances every 4 hours. Works like a charm and has helped me really cut down on time spent

Thanks for your VERY reactive answer <3
Meanwhile, I found a trick that is even better in my case ; I set it up on 2 minutes every 15 minutes, and does not turn off the page (so if I stay with my work group and do not change conversation, I can still work.
Omg, I REALLY DO love your add-on !! Wish I could give more stars !!

Does the job but a bit too perfectly as I set it up. I needed to stop Facebook. Well, it's done, and I'm glad with that.
But I need facebook/messages (Messenger) to keep working with some student groups ; is there a way to add some exceptions?
Thanks!

posted 6 years agoYes, you can add exceptions: https://www.proginosko.com/leechblock/faq/exceptions/ - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14663601, 6 years agoMuch needed! Should be an inbuilt feature in the browsers :D. I love the "Block Set" feature, thereby I can categorize my distraction websites and set different block times for each set.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13510844, 6 years agoVery useful. Has all the features you would want from such an extension. Really improves productivity!
Developer is also very helpful and quick to respond to questions! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14650496, 6 years ago
