Work Mode - Block ALL Social Media URL Block

Description from store

WorkMode is a Google Chrome Extension that, when turned on, auto-blocks ALL social media and custom URLs & keywords from even appearing.

To activate, simply click on the gray/white 'W' icon on the top-right of the Chrome browser. This will toggle the icon to 'red', meaning it's activated. You can edit which URLs are blocked by right clicking on the icon and selecting 'Options'.

Note: Currently, we do not store any personal information on any external system or database aside from the local browser LocalStorage from which the Chrome extension is used.

This software was made for free, and will *never* be monetized or sold, nor will any data be intentionally collected for any purposes aside from LocalStorage on your device for app core functionality.

Pencoba 123 2025-07-25: Did what it supposed to
Rehman Ahmed 2025-03-19: It works! It's pretty straightforward. Block social media with one click. Today, it has prevented me from using social media multiple times while working.
Nicolaie Scurtu 2024-10-12: Perfect!
Thukten Pema 2024-06-15: It's great, but could you add a feature where you would be redirected to a site when you visit a blocked site
FADY M 2024-03-11: I wish if you can add a password or something to prevent disabling the extension by just a click. But it's perfect.. wp Dude
Sam Newton 2024-03-10: Block 20 websites for free. Simple and easy.
Nguyên Vũ 2021-11-24: It's easy to use , but it can not block messenger :(

Klyvn Selma 2021-10-17: It really worked. I tried logging in to my FB and Twitter account and this extension does what it advertise us. However, I just want to know how do I exempt some websites from being blocked? I also need to access Youtube for educational purposes. Thank you.

Anthony Wagner 2021-08-07: I have a ~terrible habit: I work at a desktop computer, and use Facebook Messenger to keep in contact with basically everyone. Unfortunately, I've managed to get my brain to habitually click over to Facebook every time I reply to a message. So, dozens of times a day, I find myself mindless scrolling Facebook, needlessly wasting hours of valuable time. Today, I was digging around for a simple plugin that could stop this, and this plugin is PERFECTION. A single click to toggle it on or off, a customizable list of sites to block, and that's it! It's simplicity itself, and it just works. Now I can use messenger.com for messaging, and then prevent wasting hours scrolling my Facebook feed. It's effective and effortless and I'm _living_ for it. Thanks very much to the dev!

Mylee Sketches 2021-06-16: I really like this extension, and I haven't used Instagram or YouTube in days! The only thing that I really don't like is that you can turn it off and on easily. I put this extension on my brother's computer so he would stop watching YouTube while doing school, and I tried to trick him by saying that the only way you could turn it off was by entering the password that only I had, but he caught on quickly, and while looking at his history, found out that he has been watching gaming videos and not doing school. My recommendation is that when first use it, you have to enter a (4 digit) password. Then next time you want to turn it off, you have to enter the password. I don't think you would need the password to turn the blocker on though.👍🏽

Артур Камышанов 2021-03-08: Самое лучшее. Не просто блокирует с картинкой блокировки а не загружает. Если бы сделать список более 20 - было бы бесценно.

Scott Turner 2020-09-23: Great no-nonsense extension that helps me stop mindlessly browsing social media while working. My only criticism is the inability to add more than 20 sites.

Arshana Rajaratnam 2020-02-05: Excellent idea, would be brilliant if a time limit could be added so once clicked you can not undo it for the amount of time that its set to :)

G F 2020-01-27: Great idea, just wish there was a locked/timer feature so when you do turn it on there's an option to not be able to disable it for a certain period of time.

Dylen Puig 2019-12-19: If you're like me you have your chrome browser set to open where you left off. If you're open on a social media page when you install this blocker, like I was, then you have just locked yourself out of your chrome browser. I'm lucky I was fast enough to open a no-social media tab before it closed me out again.

Myah Colabella 2019-09-13: Super helpful, helps me so much. It would be great if we could set a timer that doesn't allow us to turn off the block until the timer is up. For example, if I want to sit down and work for 4 hours, it would be great if I could set the extension to run without me able to turn it off for 4 hours straight. Just a suggestion, but as is it is very helpful!

Steve Bagienski 2019-09-04: If you're a "tab-rat" like me, it can be a bit annoying because it closes the tab that you try going to social media on. This means that if you have a certain website open (i.e. that you need for work) and go to fb via that tab...you can no longer get back the original tab unless you disable it. I saw a review saying that the functionality to modify which tabs it closes was added....but even after an update, I couldnt find the option anyway. Otherwise, seems to work fine

PISdzielce - 2019-08-19: Idiotic extension. Instead of blocking the url, it closes also the tab or the whole browser if you have only one tab opened. TRASH.
