Rhys Mills (ID: 000000793102739b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/01/2023 Great idea, well executed, does no more than it needs to. Perhaps a text entry to add a custom delay would be a useful addition.

Natasha Campbell (ID: 000000fe5d7d6157) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/25/2023 The concept is great, but the options for lock-out time are limited to 10 seconds, 20 seconds, or 30 seconds. That's too low for me, which makes the extension practically useless. I really wish they provided longer options, like 1min, 5min, 10min, or that they would let you set your own time. If they can incorporate that, then the extension would be fantastic!

Shivam Mishra (ID: 000000b241c6f3bb) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/13/2023 it's very good but there's a huge problem , which is if you exit the tab the countdown still continues and after 30 seconds it opens , so i could like switch to another page till 30s and hop back on to that page, so i think it would be helpful if countdown only happens when you are active in the page.

Dev Patel (ID: 0000004b85b45d64) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/29/2022 By far the best website blocker I have come across. Simple, effective, and minimalist. I like the funny messages that you display when attempting to look at a disabled website. Definitely lives up to it's name of being "A quick and easy cure for Endless Scrolling Syndrome."
