Alex Jimenez (ID: 000000fcde599269) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/12/2024 Its simple but one thing i would love is having to click the extension icon and having to pop-up "block this site" while in the website instead of one extra step. Overall definitely a good extension! Edit: Thanks definitely makes life easy 5 stars!
