Mohammad Sazidul Alam (ID: 00000091a32a394d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/20/2021 It was almost perfect but there's a problem. Sometimes websites I've added on this are gone by itself and a new problem is that I can't add anything on this now. So annoying problems. Please fix these.

sophia (ID: 0000000e9fa2d7ed) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/13/2021 This is a really neat extension that helped me get rid of addictions. But... there was one issue where it kept forgetting all the URLs I set and it was really annoying to keep retyping all the websites. But other than that, its really awesome! This is one of the best website blocker extensions I have tried.
