Alex Steinberg (ID: 000000c348b6e62c) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/09/2023 It's OK. Blocks whole sites, allows blocking schedules. But I would like finer grained control. I want to block specific paths only, not entire domains. I also want to be able to block some sites/pages at all times, not just when I run blocking. So all in all, decent service but lacking features.
