LeechBlock NG
Description from store

LeechBlock NG (Next Generation) is a simple free productivity tool designed to block those time-wasting sites that can suck the life out of your working day. (You know: the ones that rhyme with 'Blue Cube', 'Space Hook', 'Sticky Media', 'Quitter', and the like.) All you need to do is specify which sites to block and when to block them.

You can specify up to 30 sets of sites to block, with different times and days for each set. You can block sites within fixed time periods (e.g., between 9am and 5pm), after a time limit (e.g., allow up to 10 minutes in every hour), or with a combination of time periods and time limit (e.g., allow up to 10 minutes in every hour between 9am and 5pm).

Additional features include:

• Lockdown: Block sites immediately for a specified duration.
• Access control: Set a password or random access code for the options page, to slow you down in moments of weakness!
• Delaying: Set a countdown to delay access to sites instead of completely blocking them.
• Password: Require a password to allow access to blocked sites.
• Wildcards: Block a range of sites (e.g., *.somesite.com).
• Exceptions: Whitelist sites you don't want to be blocked (e.g., +allowedsite.com).
• Keywords: Block or allow pages based on keywords (e.g., ~badword).

Personally, I think everything is good. However, I would still add that there needs to be improvement in terms of ease of use and UI.

Astha Lahiri
Yes it is actually very good..bcz I got ADHD (diagnosed) and everytime I try to study, I open Instagram or other apps and I regretted it later. I am so lucky I found LeechBlock..tbh no cap, this actually blocks the app and even allows us to write toxic messages to us

LeechBlockNG is easy to set up and flexible. It keeps me off of Facebook and Instagram, which I feel is becoming more and more important for people to be doing.

Since it's open source, I don't worry as much about what is done with the data this kind of app inevitably needs to collect, and more than that, I love the layout and the power it gives the users. It does exactly what I was looking for... I just wish I knew of an open source app that could do the same for other apps as well, not just web pages (while being compatible with linux). I see myself using this plugin for years to come.

so good
Riccardo Stopazzola
The tool works well and is pretty sophisticated if you want it to be. It's the way all software should be: effective, streamlined, reliable. It doesn't look fancy, but it gets the job done.
Tho Hoang Van
very convenient to use and helpful for reducing distractions

siqimsoniq1 liked it. I don't wanna make more comment than this. I just liked it.
Iona Dudley
So good! The only issue with it is my willpower and the fact you can turn extensions off in chrome settings.

This is INCREDIBLE I was frustrated by the limitations of Limit, I needed much more specific ability to block during certain hours and timeout other times This is AMAZING and just a free extension! WOW

One of the few extensions that I ever wrote a review for, a hint to its usefulness in day-to-day life Tl;dr beforehand : if you need a blocker that has no fuss related to it, this is the one (get it, trust me bro) I have been a user for almost 6 months now, and the difference in productivity is through the roof. I used to spend 8-11 hours daily scrolling/ replying/ instagram stories etc. Got this extension one day, and immediately wanted to delete it (that's how good it was at doing it's job) Once you get through the initial withdrawal stage, I would say life gets pretty easy. Then its all about how you manage your new found free time and become a better self (ugh so cliche I know)

perfect

Best site blocking extension I've ever used. Other extensions are either snoopy and collect a lot of your data or don't function at all. This one doesn't cross privacy boundaries and works amazingly well

No ads, no subscription fee, no unnecessary fluff—just a pure block tool. I love it.
Please park Jimin in my garage -Layla-
it doesn't work for me for some reason
Helena Duarte
it worked for only one day than stopped!! :( :( :(
Mihajlo Bogdanovic
I have to say, though it was a bit difficult to use at first (which is natural whenever learning something new), now that I have gotten used to it, it has really changed my life massively for the better. I thank any and all developers (or developer, if there was only one working on this) for making such an extension, and more importantly, making it free to use.

A very powerful site blocker, helped my through high school and online coaching.
Nishaant
Really good website blocker... Lets you customise almost all aspects of blocking ranging from when and where to block it all the way to what message to display in the block screen. Highly recommend it for staying on task!
