Great! I would appriciate if you add a settings where 'I get to choose' the text that is written on the screen after a pause to a site.

Very simple and effective

One big peeve preventing 5 stars: there's a really looooong list of paused sites to start with, and no way to "select all" to unblock them. Plus unblocking requires accepting a popup too, so it's a tedious process trying to whittle it down to the list of sites you ACTUALLY want to block (in my case it one mainly just one!).

love the extension! so so helpful, especially when i don't even realise i am seeking distractions during working.

Like many, I've run into the habit of quickly going to these websites before I even realize I'm doing it, and it wastes my time. I'm always surprised now when this stops me for a few seconds, at which point I realize "wow, I did it again." It has helped me save time because 90% of the time I go to these sites I didn't even really mean to or think about it! Crazy brain. Great life-altering extension.

It stopped working. It is enabled, but I can open any websites that should be "paused" without any barrier. There is no way to make it work.

Excelente, te dá um tempo para pensar se você realmente quer entrar no site.

It's decent but really needs a darkmode for evening browsing. Can't look at it after sunset.

Je ne comprends pas bien le but de cette extension. On peut bloquer l'accès à une liste de sites web, mais on peut débloquer cet accès à tout moment en cliquant sur l'icône de l'extension et en libérant l'accès ? Ça n'a alors aucun intérêt... Si on est tenté par certains sites de divertissement, cette extension ne répond pas à la problématique car l'utilisateur va libérer lui-même l'accès en un clic... Il faudrait que l'icône affiche un cadenas et soit grisée quand on est dans l'intervalle de temps où la blocklist est active. Là au moins on ne pourrait pas accéder aux sites web, et on devrait attendre que le temps soit écoulé. Je désinstalle car de toutes façons, j'utilise Freedom.to qui est super et répond à ce besoin.

Works as specified. Doesn't do anything more than advertised, which is a good feature in a web blocker. I rarely get frustrated at it, which is probably the highest praise I can give a web blocker.

I would have given five stars, but for some time the extension stopped working. Previously, it only launched when the page was first opened. Now it also launches after refreshing or using the "open in new tab" option, or even after opening in the same tab. Sometimes it also doesn't launch at all, or it launches at random times (such as when I click on a youtube video to play it). It is no longer functional for me.
