However, I just want to know how do I exempt some websites from being blocked? I also need to access Youtube for educational purposes. Thank you.

Anthony Wagner (ID: 000000fcbd95c3d9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/07/2021 I have a ~terrible habit: I work at a desktop computer, and use Facebook Messenger to keep in contact with basically everyone. Unfortunately, I've managed to get my brain to habitually click over to Facebook every time I reply to a message. So, dozens of times a day, I find myself mindless scrolling Facebook, needlessly wasting hours of valuable time. Today, I was digging around for a simple plugin that could stop this, and this plugin is PERFECTION. A single click to toggle it on or off, a customizable list of sites to block, and that's it! It's simplicity itself, and it just works. Now I can use messenger.com for messaging, and then prevent wasting hours scrolling my Facebook feed. It's effective and effortless and I'm _living_ for it. Thanks very much to the dev!
