- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18587485, 4 months agoIncludes an ad for a subscription service. "But you can try for free!" Begone. Enjoy 1 star.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17823230, 5 months agoI found this tactic to be really annoying for a while but then I started to appreciate the little bit of head space it gave me whenever I opened a new tab or something like that.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Muscogulus, 3 years agoHelpful at first, but the extension interrupts every window or tab spawned by a monitored service as if it is the first one. I sometimes feel I have spent a large portion of my allotted time waiting on the Pause green butterfly. If you are setting up a new account at a business site that uses, say, Twitter for authentication, the tiny window that pops up gives you the green butterfly instead of the form you need.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Virat Saluja, 3 years agoWould love to give this extension 5 stars! But please look into the issue of Blocking "google.com" seems to block all the google services along with the search page. (Example: gmail.com, google drive etc.)

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16965144, 3 years agoI loved this extension, it's perfect for adding extra friction on mindless sites, until I added google. I wanted to thwart mindless googling but it now shows up on every google product, including google docs which, when I open, needs to be used immediately before I forget what I was going to type. There needs to be a way to un-indicate certain urls within a domain.
- Rated 5 out of 5by BrixterWork, 4 years agoIt gives me time to think if I really want to go to a distracting sites or not. It's good to build self-control.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Brixter, 4 years agoI just started to use it but I like having the control to think about if I really want to visit a site.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16314732, 4 years agoSimple, aesthetically pleasing, did what I hoped it would and improved my browsing. I liked that you could "disable pause" easily; I felt I was being kindly nudged by myself (whereas Leechblock has often felt like an avatar of being out of control).

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14184187, 5 years agoSo far it's perfect, this is the type of self control addon i was looking for, with nudges instead of hard blocking the websites
- Rated 2 out of 5by Savannah, 5 years agoIf I turn Pause off, go to a webpage on the list, and then turn Pause back on, it will "pause" that webpage, even though I opened it before I turned Pause on. On a page like YouTube, this leads to things like losing my queue, meaning I have to construct it all over again. Pause shouldn't behave this way.
