LeechBlock NG Extension

LeechBlock NG (Next Generation) is a simple free productivity tool designed to block those time-wasting sites that can suck the life out of your working day. (You know: the ones that rhyme with 'Blue Cube', 'Space Hook', 'Sticky Media', 'Quitter', and the like.) All you need to do is specify which sites to block and when to block them.

You can specify up to 30 sets of sites to block, with different times and days for each set. You can block sites within fixed time periods (e.g., between 9am and 5pm), after a time limit (e.g., allow up to 10 minutes in every hour), or with a combination of time periods and time limit (e.g., allow up to 10 minutes in every hour between 9am and 5pm).

Additional features:

• Lockdown: Block sites immediately for a specified duration.
• Access control: Set a password or random access code for the options page, to slow you down in moments of weakness!
• Delaying: Set a countdown to delay access to sites instead of completely blocking them.
• Wildcards: Block a range of sites (e.g., *.somesite.com).
• Exceptions: Whitelist sites you don't want to be blocked (e.g., +allowedsite.com).

JH L (ID: 000000bfdc66f39f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/20/2024 Works wonderfully on Brave browser. LeechBlock allows multiple blocklists, each with their own date time schedules and configurations. Configurations include password bypass, 60-second bypass etc. Configurations can be synchronized to the cloud to multiple computers. The source code for this extension is open-source so the community can guard against spyware or data reselling. And it's all free!

SXLAIRE (ID: 000000c29cd08256) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/19/2024 Pretty great, but the one thing I've found a bit frustrating is that emails to the Leechblock team seem to never get responses. I messaged about 2 weeks ago without any response. I like the blocker a lot but with no support this does create some headaches that I worry won't get addressed.

Robert Tinsley (ID: 000000dfb10260f9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/15/2023 Thank you! Overcoming my youtube addiction because of your great program.

Alexander Nikolov (ID: 000000b1eba3ec88) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/07/2023 Its good but there is no option to block the extension site itself. Therefore I can simply deactivate it anytime.

Jake Canning (ID: 0000000ffb782e3a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/03/2023 Truly one of the best developed extensions out there, and serves such a necessary purpose. Makes curbing digital addictions so much easier!
