Random User (ID: 0000004086592cbf) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/08/2023 Only blocks a website 3 times, then you have to reset stats for it to start blocking the site again. Very annoying "feature". Would be a 5 star app if it blocked a site every time, once you have asked it to block that site. Baffled why I have to keep resetting the stats every 3 times the pop up loads.

Soham Mehta (ID: 00000090b09ff189) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/01/2023 Exactly what I was looking for. One request: Can we allow delay to be like ~24 hours ish. I don't want a tab to close instantly or when I am working. But I surely don't need it next day or even 5 hours later

Nandakoin (ID: 000000e56bdb4f45) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/16/2023 This is what i really want! an extension that blocks custom websites! i have tried other extension but no feature like this. I hope dev to add the no new tabs feature, so if a blocked site is opened in a new tab, the user won't be disturbed if a new tab appears before the tab automatically closes. thx you!
