Description from store
WaitBlock allows you to setup wait period for time-wasting sites. Upon visiting a blocked website, you will be presented with a countdown you need to wait out.
This turns the dopamine-induced sensation you get when opening Facebook, into boring and borderline frustrating experience. After a while, you will no longer be subconsciously opening it again.
You also get a beautiful picture every day, which will remind you of the life out there.

- (2023-04-24) Marcin Stożek: Great extension! I do, however, have an issue with images that are supposed to be visible during the timer. It is my first day with the extension to i'm not sure if it's just todays photo or all of them.
- (2023-02-13) Shivam Mishra: the best extension for reducing distractions, i installed several extension with same features, but some were less customizable , and most had a fatal flaw that you can change the tab and countdown will still continue, but this just perfect. thanks developer
- (2022-11-16) Ozan Şenyurt: Life saver! Thank you for this extension.
- (2022-08-20) Epic Mango: Perfect, it reminds me of the days when my internet was worse and helps me with not getting sidetracked so unbelievably easily, amazing app!!
- (2022-01-22) Rob C: Exactly what I was looking for
- (2021-12-08) Denis Duchev: The perfect tool to combat the quick distractions. No ads and beautiful backgrounds!
- (2021-10-28) Derek Gurney: Another reason to love this app is that allows several sites to added at once, unlike other blockers that require users to add one-by-one
- (2021-10-22) Jason PM: I find it very usefull, I just notice that when 5mins have passed in a "blocked page" it doesn't do anything until I reload the page
- (2021-10-11) Ovi Hentea: It's very effective at what it does - more so than the many other extensions I've tried. The dynamic background imagine is a welcome breath of fresh air. I'd love it if it could add a count-up (like age) or a count-down (some future event you're preparing for)
- (2019-03-27) Lukas P: The best Dopamine Blocker Extension out there! I changed a tiny detail: Instead of showing a countdown, I just show the initial total wait time. Countdowns kinda make it exciting to wait and that's not the point.
- (2017-11-12) Atte Keinänen: An essential tool in my daily life for regaining an ability to focus on what actually matters to me. A related doc I wrote about reducing distractions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12YZbZKosgdhoaU5-qwQr2M2KiS6vFQnyBZcEXCfkB9o/edit?usp=sharing It btw took me forever for me to find this plugin – hopefully this will get more visibility at some point :)
- (2017-06-28) Šimon Soták Gregor: This is a true game-changer. Forget all self-help guides, WaitBlock has changed my life for the better and now I'm being productive and actually spending time with my family!
- (2017-03-27) Vivian Chang: Waitblock changed within the last day--now there's a delay before it starts working, and I have to actively click on the page for the timer to run down. May be a bug?
- (2016-12-21) Michal Šimonfy: Amazing!
- (2016-06-08) Franek Żak: Great, simple, just works. Nice photos, too.
- (2016-05-28) Mayank Jain: Very good!
- (2016-04-10) Lubos Kubon: nasty, it really makes you to reflect on your core values..

- (2022-02-24, v:1.5.1) Nate Brown: Waitblock is activating on all sites not just Blacklisted ones
Hi, I recently installed Waitblock but I'm having a bit of an issue. Waitblock is running on all sites, including from the URL Bar or opened in a new tab. This was occurring even with just the default blacklist/whitelist from first installing. I am using Microsoft Edge and installed from the Chrome Web Store so maybe that is related to the issue? I don't get the same problem if using Chrome. Would love to use this extension for the peaceful image and the timer behavior! Thanks, Nate - (2020-04-22, v:1.5.1) Carson: Can disable without reflecting
Can you change the settings so that I can flag the "disable extension" page. I can disable the app or change the settings with no wait time. - (2017-09-08, v:1.5.0) Marin Petricevic: Cuntdown not starting automatically
Hi, I'm running chrome 59 on Ubuntu 16.04. The countdown does not start automatically. It does start if I enter dev tools. If I don't do anything, it just sits there indefinitely saying "[blank] seconds" - (2017-07-01, v:1.5.0) Shai Shapira: Timer is starting
I'm expereincing a weird behaviour. The timer isn't starting when going to blacklisted domains (no numbers but the 'seconds to change your mind' and background show) and IF i click one of my extensions buttons in the top right of chrome the timer starts.
