SUMMARY
Humanity collectively wastes a huge amount of time on the internet. Imagine if we could turn all the noise off?
Well you can! With one click, Focus.me will block all websites on a blacklist for a duration of time. Blocking can't be disabled until the time runs out!
Focus.me also supports manual blocking which can be turned on/off at any time.
Trying to visit a blocked page will display a motivational quote and encourage you to get back to whatever you were doing.
Features:
-Manual blocking mode which can be started or stopped at any time
-Timed blocking mode which cannot be turned off until the time runs out
-Customize the duration of time that the timed blocking lasts
-Customizable blacklist allowing for blocking on any website
-Pleasing, simple user interface - no messing with complicated configuration files!
-Default blacklist includes all common social media and 'time-wasting' websites
NEW FEATURES IN V1.1
-Plugin remembers what tab you were on, so when time expires the tab returns to the original page.
-Icon changes color based on blocking status
-New: Import and export blacklists to/from a text file!
-Various bug fixes.
Please leave a review if you like the extension!
For questions or suggestions, please make a post on the 'Support' page and I will respond as soon as possible.

- (2021-05-18) Zildjian Amiel B. Payumo: I really love it, now I don't get distraction from other website
- (2019-06-24) Eva Clark: Once you set a time limit, you cannot turn it off, whether or not you finish your work.
- (2018-09-20) Eric Wenzke: Does what I expect it to do, besides for webmail.beuth-hochschule.de somehow it just won't block this site. The one thing I feel is missing is to schedule the activation, so that I won't have to active it myself everytime.
- (2018-09-13) ian wu: it doesn't restrict all the websites. i tried it for http://shellshock.io cargames.com and alot of others that didn't even restrict at all.
- (2018-09-05) Mj Booker: love it best for pranking right click on it say hide then it will not show just click on dots but what i would like if it says website crashed or something then it will make it it more belivable love it great job
- (2017-11-13) Sagi Ziv: works great, but I wish I could cancel the blockin also in time mode with password or something like that and I think it would be easier to just create allowed sites list and block sites that dose not appear on it. overall, it is a great idea
- (2017-09-17) Abhilash Baranwal: Fantastic. Absolutely lovely. I wish it provided some method so that it couldn't be disabled easily.
- (2017-07-14) Bruce C: There are so many extensions just like this one. One very important problem is that it is very easy to circumvent. All you have to do is right on the extension and remove it from chrome. I wonder if there's a way to stop me from doing that. Otherwise, great extension!
- (2017-06-19) Patrik Strausz: It is very useful however there's no way to override the blocking. Sometimes I need YouTube for my work, and the only way I could access YouTube during my work session was to uninstall this extension. So I did, and won't install again.
- (2017-03-18) Awesomevo: it is amazing! helps me focus on school and my tests! i would make it so that if you put the timer on you cant go to settings and change it so you CAN go on the blocked websites. it ruins the purpose. but i still think it is amazing
- (2017-02-10) Phi Leigh: Although i have only started using this app a few days ago, i feel like it can really help improve my focus on studies etc.
- (2017-02-09) Sidharth Bhatia: Great tool
