• (2023-07-16) Naliflower: This is perfect and much better than the usual productivity blockers. Wish there was an app for my phone and apps
• (2023-01-02) Tsuni: Excellent, wish I had found it sooner. Doesn't appear to be maintained (no updates for ~6 years), but still works perfectly fine.
• (2022-12-22) Noam Sl: Brilliant
• (2022-12-07) Andrew Overing: Good, solid productivity extension. I am now procrastinating by using this review, but it does its job. I just wish it was more updated, seems like the last update was ~2015
• (2022-05-01) Facundo Zapata: Randomly stops working and won´t block the pages it is supposed to block even when Meter is at 0.
• (2022-03-28) Eric Ryan: Phenomenal extension! currently is the only thing keeping me going in school.
• (2022-02-05) Nafis Faiyaz: control option is very badly designed.
• (2022-01-05) thank you for the all
• (2021-01-19) Jeongeun Park: Genius! I think it has the best approach to blocking distracting websites out of all the extensions I tried.
• (2021-01-13) Tai Nguyen: can't find a reason to hate it yet! (:
• (2020-11-03) Amber: I love the concept of this and I haven't come across anything like this extension, but a lot of work still needs to be done. I wish that there was an option to choose how much of the balance I can use instead of it being used all at once, and another issue happened where I clicked on the amount of balance and it all disappeared.. I'm not sure if this was a glitch, but I was a bit irritated since I've been saving up the balance so I could spend more time on the blocked sites for later and now it's all gone. If these things can be fixed, it would be 5 stars for me.
• (2019-10-03) Niklas Henckell: God is this annoying! Just wanted to quickly go to Youtube and can't. It is educational! Only 10-20 minutes.... Love this app. It is insane how often I subconsciously go off and then lose 1-2h mindlessly browsing. This helps so much. Especially the idea to allow the sites if you had done enough productive stuff UPFRONT is insanely helpful.
• (2019-09-19) K P: All missing features I want are on the todo list. Otherwise genius extension.
• (2019-07-23) Gustavo de Oliveira Gama: A ideia é incrível e a extensão é cheia de potencial. É uma pena que o projeto está abandonado, com três anos sem atualizações e correção de problemas.
• (2019-06-29) George Kolasa: Excellent app, just wish there was a version for firefox mobile
• (2019-02-01) Dmitry Komarov: Did anyone find something similar for android (to limit time in certain apps)?
• (2018-11-14) WITCHING CYN: esto soluciona el asunto de paginas wed bloqueado por los usuarios.. y restrinciones sin complicasiones
• (2017-12-20) Christophe Beylemans: Exactly what I needed. Frustrating at first but if you install this you're already admitting you have a problem.
• (2017-05-16) Jeremy Mumford: Morphine saved my life - or at least, it saved my job.
• (2016-12-05) Дмитрий Ермак: Some statistics could be good. Like "how much time overall today you've spent there". Maybe some whitelist time, but actually it's even better this way. I've started working much more productive and also understood a little bit about myself. Even the moment about comments is good - I'm all like "my comment!... But was it really worth it?"
• (2016-12-01) Bon Trillones: I like how it made feel like a drug addict. It really shows how addicting social media can be.
• (2016-11-02) Stéphane TALBOT: très efficace pour limiter la procrastination. merci ;-)
• (2016-10-07) Maikol Solís: It would be great if could add some option to schedule the blocking time. For example, I would like to check facebook from 12pm to 1pm because is my lunch time. If you do, I will give 5 stars.
• (2016-04-19) Isabelle Carrel: Very useful.
• (2016-04-11) Arek Olek: It's nice, but I would like to enable it only during work hours. It would also be better if it didn't refresh the page after you pass the time limit and decide to administer a little bit more Morphine.
• (2016-03-13) Kayode A.: Very useful. Similar to a pomodoro tool, and you can customize and cumulate the time allowed for "breaks". Maybe the design could be better, and it would be cool to block also the websites we accessed through links from the ones we initially blocked. But globally, I really appreciate it
• (2016-03-10) fred trotter: I love this as it keeps me from browsing Reddit too much at work. However, sometimes I am writing a response in Reddit and when I get blocked by the extension and then unlock it with a little more time... my comment is entirely lost. I just lost 20 minutes of work on this. This is essentially the same problem that Tad experienced and it due entirely to the hard redirect. Still a wonderful intervention but it really needs to be more respectful of users interactions with blocked pages. I changed this rating from 3 to 5 stars now that I see that you can modify the code on github. I consider this feature to be "my problem" and not yours as a result.
• (2016-02-17) Simple Simon: Works as advertised but there are a few things that grate a little. For example, if I give myself a minute and I'm scrolling through reddit comments, when it times out and I give myself a minute more, I'm taken back up to the top of the reddit page, instead of resuming where I left off. Also, it seems to screw with the browser back button. When I give myself more time after it times out, I can no longer use the back button to go back to pages on the same site that I'd previously viewed; it acts as if the page I'm on is the only one I've visited on the site. These minor things aside, I like the concept.
• (2016-01-13) Kimball Robinson: It just needs better UI controls so you don't have to open the options to add a site.
• (2015-08-04) Rich Elmes: This extension is injecting Google Analytics code into pages, nice way to spy on us dude :(
• (2015-06-12) Олег Сорокин: О, это великолепно! Огромное спасибо разработчикам за то, что они помогают мне сохранить самый ценный и невосполнимый ресурс моей жизни - время! Это расширение - именно то, что мне было так необходимо. И я несказанно рад, что нашёл его. :-)
• (2015-04-15) Andreas Johansson: Great concept and a nice implementation of a give-and-take system. + Rewards you for being in control + Nice UI + Easy to use + Discreet - Settings is a wall of text at the moment - When the timer runs out it redirects you to another page, interrupting typing or buffering - Doesn't transfer its settings between computers - No wildcards allowed This will get a 5-star rating if you fix the wildcard option or make the settings sync between computers
• (2014-12-03) Tad Campbell: Only complaint: When the timer runs out, the page is fully redirected rather than having an overlay like similar extensions. This can be really frustrating if you were, for example, typing up a comment as the comment will likely be erased and unrecoverable (even Lazarus sometimes doesn't have enough time to save it).
• (2014-05-19) Daniel Kyrollos: Great extension!!
• (2014-05-06) Gabriel Leuenberger: Thank you, it's very helpful.
• (2014-02-25) Martin Thompson: Love this idea, however I would prefer if when you spend minutes, that it be just for the site you permitted. For me, I can easily check my FB in less than a minute, as well as my mail, and other social feeds. I know I could balance this by increasing the amount of time it takes for me to gain tokens, but I still think I can easily cheat this. A last suggestion is to implement a password system, just now I combine this with Stay Focused to use the Nuclear option to block the chrome extensions page.

Latest issues

• (2022-05-01, v:1.1.0) Facundo Zapata: Blocking doesn't work anymore
  Title is self-explainatory. Does not work anymore at all.
• (2019-10-19, v:1.1.0) Niklas Henckell: Can we have this for the phone as well?
  Using Morphine for 3 weeks now and it is by far the best tool out there. Just the simple blocker and having to chose how much time I want to "waste" now completely changed the way I browse. Going to time wasting sites in my mind is now associated with a cost. This leads to it not being the easy and quick hit that my bran craves anymore. It is amazing, flexible and actually allows you to do take some time off occasionally while at the same time preventing you to get lost in it. I am currently searching for the exact same thing for my phone as much of my mindless browsing now switched to my phone. Do you have something like this?
• (2019-09-19, v:1.1.0) Julie G: Is there a way to require a mouseclick when leaving a site (not a keystroke)?
  I keep having the problem where I am in the midst of writing some long crazy question or response (usually on Facebook) and then Morphine decides my 3 minutes are up and the little "leave? cancel?" thing comes up -- and because I am midsentence and typing like a fiend I only see the screen briefly and the next keystroke takes me away, effectively deleting my entire response.
• (2018-03-13, v:1.1.0) Brianna Miller: Reset Balance
  Instead of accumulating the balance after each day, there could be an option to reset the balance everyday (or an interval that the user specifies). That way, the user isn't spent wasting 30 minutes on a website due to the massive balance accumulated from previous days.
• (2017-10-11, v:1.1.0) Radek Pilich: Blocked Website Slowed Down
  It seems to me, that loading of the blocked website (Facebook) is much slower than without Morphine. The websites often gets stuck for several second when for example navigating from homepage into a group of when expanding comments sections. Why?
• (2017-10-11, v:1.1.0) Daniel B: Allow more customization for Interval and Size.
  Allow more customization for Interval and Size.
• (2017-07-30, v:1.1.0) Flexibility
  The most time I'm allowed on my blocked sites is 2 minutes for every 10. But I'm disabled in various ways and I actually only need incentive to reply to a couple of emails and then watch Netflix for an hour and then reply to a couple more emails, etc! So what I need is something like... 5 minutes of email stuff, and then 30 minutes of balance for using on my blocked sites. I would really like if I could specify which sites would let me accrue balance. I'd love if I could do whatever I want, but if I want to watch Netflix for an hour I *must* spend 10 minutes in Gmail, for example. Thank you for your consideration!
• (2017-03-30, v:1.1.0) E Weatherford: Balance
  I clicked on Balance and all my accrued minutes disappeared. There is no explanation of why/when to do that. I thought I needed to in order to use my time.
• (2017-03-30, v:1.1.0) Blocking https:// sites
  It took me a while to figure out that in order to block Medium, I needed to block both medium.com (to block http pages) and https://medium.com (to block https pages). That should be added to the instructions on the settings page. Also, I think I only just noticed that using an asterisk as a wildcard will prevent the block from working! Thanks for making this, I use it all the time.
• (2017-03-11, v:1.1.0) toyoshi teshima: No instruction?
  There are 4 panes with number on Morphine Interface, but I can't find any instructions about the meaning of each pane and number.
• (2016-01-13, v:1.0.5) Kimball Robinson: "Add this site' button from morphine icon.
  I would like to quickly add sites: * From the icon, when on a page As a bonus, if possible * From context menu on history page * With ability to modify it Also, I would like to share the site list between the crackbook extension and the morphine extension (if possible), or have one extension that does both functions.
