Existenceisillusion (ID: 0000001ff4731ff0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/06/2023 A website blocker and it's simple, a simple website blocker. Have to click the extension icon to choose to block a site, as opposed to via context menu. Seems to work well so far.

serban gruianu (ID: 000000ad227b70b2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/22/2023 Perfect! The last one (Simple Blocker by proeditro) just got erased and disappeared from the Chrome Web Store ENTIRELY, leaving to be as a malware (idk why), but this one is great. Make this virus-free. I miss the other one :-( but now this one is better. Thanks!!!!!!!! 🤗😚

Gianmarco Palma (ID: 000000a706660f85) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/20/2022 Last blocker I used looked great, then they decided to limit block to three sites or force me to buy a premium plan. Left a 1 star review and googled a better one, this one looks super simple and BS-free.
