Description from extension meta

Blocking time-wasting sites so you can be productive. Privacy conscious, feature rich, and highly customizable!

Image from store WasteNoTime
Description from store There are many "web blockers" in the Chrome Web Store but WasteNoTime is the only extension that requires the minimal permission (accessing your browser navigation history only) to do its job. Other extensions like Stayfocusd would require permission to “read and change all your data on all the web sites that you visit”. WasteNoTime is not only privacy conscious but it is highly customizable and feature rich. * Instant Lockdown: Allows you to focus on your work for a period of time undistracted * Per-site setting: Allows you to customize the time quota for a particular web site * Work hour setting: allows you to define separate time quotas for your work and non-work hours * +Links setting: Allows you to track time spent not only on the web site itself but on any link navigated from it. Super useful for web sites like Reddit or Hacker News. * Time Tracker: Gives you reports on what web sites you spent most of your time, for the past day, week, or month Currently supported locales: English, 中文 (Thanks to 赖巍!) If you are interested in localizing this extension in your language, please send me a message at the support web site.

  • (2023-04-24) unknown unknown: Love this extension. Has helped me so much to get school work done. Would def recommend it :))
  • (2023-04-14) Hemant Kumar: Just what i wanted
  • (2023-04-13) AdamS: Works pretty well but asks to have full access to browsing history and every time it blocks a site it sends the URL to the author. Not great for privacy.
  • (2023-03-27) Adrien Chauvet: It does the job and it's free. Thank you!
  • (2023-03-14) Reda ghoneim: excellent
  • (2023-03-02) Ritik sharma07: Great extension please add this - Instant lockdown should have a autostart time option like to Block All sites at 9:30PM expect allowed only
  • (2023-02-27) Matías Daniel Trapaglia Mansilla: It does its job wonderfully
  • (2023-02-25) Eyob Moges: This works like, 60% of the time, hence 3/5. I will put something on my block list. Close the window, and then be able to open a new window and open the same site. the amount of customization is great, but also, if at it's simplest I can't block a site and then walk away confident that it is blocked, then its all kind of not helpful.
  • (2023-02-23) Mitchel Highman: Excellent tool. Helps me get things done without lingering around time-sucking websites.
  • (2023-02-22) Hemant Kumar: Exactly what i wanted
  • (2023-02-09) Arlo Andrew: Brillant, no money grabbing.
  • (2023-01-22) Chris Marchese: This app is absolutely fantastic. It's helped with my addiction to certain sites and the ability to add a password which you can give to someone else, or force you to enter a ridiculously long random string of letters before you can change your restrictions is a fantastic addition. Can't recommend it enough if you're trying to break addiction. Just remember to enable it to run in incognito mode too.
  • (2023-01-19) A D: I like the app and appreciate what it does but the quotes they've chosen to post are really obnoxious to me. I hate them. That's the only downside for me.
  • (2023-01-18) Diego Fernandez: One great app, does perfectly the job. If I had money I would dontate <3
  • (2023-01-18) M.Ghaza darmawan: love it, the feature blocking in periods of time is what iam looking for, success for developer
  • (2023-01-06) VIDE O: tq so much for saving my time
  • (2023-01-05) ぺらぺら: The timer stops often...
  • (2023-01-05) Esther-Shahn Pedersen: This has prevented me from wasting so much time. The quotes are also inspirational and make me think about what I should rather be doing when my daily quota on a set website is up.
  • (2023-01-03) Al Ia: Free. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • (2022-12-07) Xmo Show: I love it

  • (2022-03-17) louis luo: Simple yet effective. Exactly what I wanted. Love the inspirational quotes.
  • (2022-03-17) Ziad Mostafa Abd El razek: Does it's job
  • (2022-02-09) Lia Williams: I really like this app and it has been very helpful in keeping me out of YouTube. I think it would be great if there was a mobile version for your phone (unless there is one already and I just don't know about it yet). There have been apps that are similar to this, but none of them automatically force you off of an app completely (you can turn on the timer/ time limit but you can just ignore it).
  • (2022-01-31) Anson Phua: Very good. Suggestion: for instant lockdown please consider adding options beyond the 24 hour timeframe.
  • (2022-01-06) BERNARD DELACRUZ: I was using a pay extension, but the subscription price kept going up :-( Also, I didn't need the bells and whistles. This extension is extension is basic but free. Totally worth kicking a $10 donation a couple of times a year!
  • (2021-12-22) Profケイオス: 使いやすい
  • (2021-12-20) Ufuk Bakır: It is great that you can block pages which starts with chrome-extension:// etc. Not many blocking extensions can do that
  • (2021-12-16) Aravind Sathesh: It works like a charm. If youreally want to control yourself, nlock all your distracting websites and choose a challenge of "Enter randomly genereated string". Suggestion: Allow us to block the extension management page, as it can be disabled from there, which would be counter-productive.
  • (2021-12-06) Chandan dey: Really a helpful site to keep away from distraction!
  • (2021-11-21) Huzaifa Farooq: It is not blocking the sites
  • (2021-11-15) Malik Chefchaouni: Just wish it can block keywords.
  • (2021-11-02) Edmond Tran: Switched between a few but found this one the best. Very simple and does as intended.
  • (2021-10-25) Sachin Satawkar: gr8 tool to focus on work. must have tool
  • (2021-10-12) Stefan Fay: Excellent!
  • (2021-10-11) Nhan Nguyen: It just works! Simple. Not very intuitive but easy to figure out all the settings.
  • (2021-10-11) Jennifer: It does what it advertises, and exceptionally well.
  • (2021-10-04) L F: gamechanger and non intrusive like similar apps (confirmed with chrome's default extensions bookmark that shows how much access activated apps have to your informationon webpages -- this needs and has NO access to any information on a webpage). Thank you so much for that! I have other Pomodoro style blocking extensions but I now prefer to use the "Instant Lockdown" feature in this app (with "Sites on Block List" blocked only) for it because it blocks sites so much more sensibly. I have to manually restart Pomodoro timers in the other extensions so this one is not that much different to use. Just a tip: I've noticed secured sites without "www." and only "https://" in the address have to be written only with https:// or exactly as it shows in the addres bar to be blocked in the app. Hope it gets updated soon...

  • (2023-02-10, v:3.5.0.11298) Adam Giroux: blocked out of all websites accidently - change default setting
    Hello - I accidently blocked myself out of all websites when trying to do the instant lockdown function, because I didn't realize the default toggle button is set for blocking everything but the allow list. I only wanted to lock myself out of the block list. Since my passwords are stored in lastpass extension, I can't get to anything on the web that i need to because it won't work in incognito mode. Please change the default option to not be set to blocking everything.

  • (2022-06-19, v:3.5.0.11298) Undīne Krievāne: Instant Lockdown settings
    Thanks for the app! It would be great if there was a way to set my own default settings for the Instant Lockdown. E.g. I usually want to use it to block only the sites on my Block List, but every time I want to do that I have to check the 'Sites on Block List' radio button instead of 'All Sites'. Sometimes I fail to do that, and then it's very annoying because I need to access other sites but cannot.
  • (2022-06-05, v:3.5.0.11298) Tillmann: Deactivate working hours on weekends
    Hey there, thanks first for the extension. I am quite new to it but was wandering whether one can not only select days that this extension is active but also days with no working hours. Thus, saturday and sunday could also be limited but maybe with a different maximum amount of time. Anyways, trying to get a feeling how it works. Thanks again and best wishes!
  • (2022-06-02, v:3.5.0.11298) Gretchen Brocksmith: Streaming Services
    I love the extension however, my main problem with productivity is either watching Netflix or YouTube videos. When I have an additional monitor connected or the screen is enlarged (like taking up the entire monitor not just the window or the tiny youtube) the extension does not seem to work. How can I get around that? I have a certain limit set for YouTube, Netflix and other streaming services but when I connect the monitor or make the screen bigger it's like the limit doesn't exist.

    Hell there, I appreciate for your software, helping me for being more productive. I just wonder if it is possible to add this into an android phone because phone is now become a minicomputer. It causes a lot of distractions. So, it would be great if you able to make it for phone too. Thanks Farid

  • (2022-01-30, v:3.5.0.11298) Sean Gilbert: Idle Mode Doesn't Turn Off
    Hello, I've been using this extension for a long time on my chromebook There's this weird quirk thats always been there where the idle timer would trip, but the browser would be stuck in idle mode. This is problematic since, well. None of my timed blocks would work unless I specifically hit the extension button to turn off the idle Its basically always been a problem, but it gets on my nerves when I'll blow hours on a blocked website because the browser still thinks its idle Now sometimes to idle function will turn itself off on its own. But its once and a blue moon and seemingly random. Its like a once a week occurrence My guess is that to turn off idle, your supposed to click off the browser and click back on. Where the way I use chromebook, I never click off the browser. So it never gets the signal to turn off idle. Or perhaps the way that clicking on a browser is different on ChromeOS versus Windows. Anyway, its weird and frustrating I look forward to you could fixing this bug. I understand if your unwilling to though
  • (2022-01-13, v:3.5.0.11298) Aljaž: Is there a firefox version?

    I would like to be able to access htm files stored on my computer while blocking the internet. What do I put in the Allow List to maintain access to these files? They all begin file:///C:/Users/johnster, but I've tried various things, and they are always blocked when I use Instant Lockdown to block "All Sites except those on Allow List." I had this set up so it worked just fine on a previous computer, but when that one died I couldn't make it work on my new computer. (Is there a way to access my old allow list?) Thank you, Eric Johnston Newark, NJ

  • (2021-01-11, v:3.5.0.11298) Kaeto Romik: Extension not working
    I use this extension basically to block myself from Twitter and Tumblr so I will stop scrolling endlessly. So I don't use any of the timed features, only the instant lockdown. However, lately it has run into a bug where if, say, I am on twitter when I click the instant lockdown, it will work great. but if I open another tab with one of the blocked sites in it later, it will load the site and then sort of hang. The tab indicates it is still loading, but it never redirects away from the blocked site, and the blocked site retains all functionality. Worse, it causes any new tabs I open to fail to load anything, regardless of whether they are blocked or not. This bug also keeps Chrome in background processes when I close it, despite the fact that I have set Chrome to not remain in the background when closed, forcing me to find and disable the Chrome process using the most memory (usually about 50-75mb, if that matters) in order to actually close Chrome, since closing any of the other multiple processes just causes it to open more. I have tried disabling and re-enabling, force-restarting Chrome, re-installing the extension, and doing all of the above in combination with restarting my computer. Nothing fixes it. For reference I am using Chrome Version 87.0.4280.141 on a Windows 10 computer. This is a great extension and I really liked using it before it broke, so I hope you can help with whatever is making it do this.

I'd prefer to change my default settings here. Thanks!
  • (2020-09-02, v:3.5.0.11298) Tobias Heer: Features and a Bug
    Hi, i got an really important Feature that i'm missing. 1.I'm using the extention to force me to go to bed. But the Time resetsat midnight. I want to be able to set the Resetpoint myself. 2.It would be nice to have an Reward System where you can extend the timeout. Everyday one Reward Point and you can collect the rewards if you not using them. 3. I would like to see the Time directly in the Icon or an an Overlay so i can see how much i have left. 4. the Challage can be really easy removed when you know JS. I think a live evaluation where you really have to type and every letter is checks whould be better vs.the current one if check 5. On option to reset the current timer would be nice I'm going to donate if you can Implement the first Request. :)
  • (2020-08-12, v:3.5.0.11298) Mabel Kim: Suggestion: Add multiple blocklists

  • (2020-06-21, v:3.5.0.11298) Michael Camacho: "Advanced Settings" -> "Warning Message" description
    When I first read "Display a warning message X minutes before a site is to be blocked.", I didn't realise it referred to an awesome countdown timer! It sounded like it would be a one-time popup or something like that. I think maybe it could be phrased better? Had I realised sooner what it actually did, I would've started using it immediately! Now I set the warning threshold to 60 minutes so that it's much easier to manage my browsing time. I'd probably set it even higher if it wasn't always in seconds. ;) Great extension, by the way! I really like it. :)

However, I don't want either of those to exceed 1 hour total. So I can do 30+30=60, or 40+20=60. But not 40+40 > 60 minutes.
