Константин Кочнев (ID: 0000004a605f3225) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/08/2022 Works great. One of it's kind. I wonder why such a feature is not present at any browser yet. Thanks to the developer!

The Manhands (ID: 00000096cdaf99e2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/14/2022 Still works 2022-04-14. Another review said you can't block duration until it's open, but that's wrong, you just click the extension and hit the button "Hide automatically" button and set a rule. Works great if the titles have something consistent in them.
