- (2025-05-19) Alejandro Figueiras: This is a really nice extension, it will make you spend valuable time doing better things than waste time in social media
- (2025-05-15) Andrey Chernyshuk: Finally, a working YouTube blocker
- (2025-04-06) Cranset Bat99: This extension has helped me be less susceptible to spontaneous distractions, especially with ADHD where anything that is "oooh shiny exciting colorful" thing gets my attention and can make me put off what I was originally doing. The gray mellows out that reaction and reminds me to keep track. And even when I've turned it off, having the youtube home and recommended be off has still been on and its really helpful, I am glad, rather then upset to miss out on those recommendations.
- (2025-04-01) Liam Fennell: One of the only tools that actually helps me get work done, not just some gimmick
- (2025-03-27) Olav Grongstad: I use this extension every morning when i start my first block of work. Ease of accesibility and all of the different functionalities makes this a great extension. Highly recommend!
