Dynamic Website Blocker Extension

Smart Block Site helps users stay on task through \"reward\" and \"punishment\", without outright restricting websites.

For every minute a user is on a \"merit site\", they can earn points. For every minute a user is on a \"demerit site\", they lose points. The \"demerit site\" gets blocked once there are no more points left, and the user has to earn points again to re-access the \"demerit site\".

Features:
• Autofill Common Sites: Auto fills block sites with common distractors.
• Merit Weight: Points added per minute on merit sites.
• Demerit Weight: Points subtracted per minute on demerit sites.
• Enable/Disable Settings: Once enabled, points will reset if disabled.
• Maximum Points Accumulated:
• Reset Points After Closure: Once enabled, points will reset if browser is closed.
• Permanent Block List: Permanently blocks websites.
• Block By Category: Permanently block websites by category (adult).
