Deler Rahmani (ID: 000000d4e98af446) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/23/2023 I love it

Huib Albers (ID: 0000008e201c774e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/21/2023 A funny and neat way to max out your productivity. The memes are funny and you can add websites by yourself too. The downside is when you accidently add a website you can´t remove it. You need to uninstall the extension in order to make the website work proper again. I like the extension a lot. Very underrated.

Yuresh Majhi (ID: 000000c1b0eac3b7) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/19/2022 This is a very good extension for blocking sites except that it automatically deactivates whenever you go to manage any settings, and I always forget to reactivate it. And it sometimes doesn't work right after you activate it. Also the memes are really good.
