Block Site - Browser Extension Review

A review on the "Block Site" browser extension, which is available on all web-extension-based browsers.

This extension will block access to websites of your choosing. A master password controls all customization options, as well as access to any blocked site. It's also possible to redirect navigation from one specific website to another.

Features:
1. Block unwanted domains.
2. Prevent access to a range of websites using wildcard matching or regular expression matching.
3. Reverse mode allows access to only some hostnames and blocks access to all others.
4. Custom redirection; you can redirect a single blocked hostname to a new destination.
5. Display a custom message on blocked pages.
6. Time and date based blocking. Only block access to the websites at specified times and dates. This feature can be configured per hostname.
7. Protect data leakage. This extension prevents certain hostnames from gathering network activity from your computer since blocking occurs before any network request is emitted to the server.
8. Auto-closes blocked tabs after a period of time.
10. Closes annoying pop-ups as soon as the opening request is received.
11. Pause and resume blocking from the right-click context menu of the toolbar button.
12. Support overwriting configurations by managed storage

Finally, I can stop being horni by blocking those +18 websites

About your extension, it's very powerful and useful. But I find it very basic. For example, it's good for me to set a time frame to block webpages on Monday from 15:00 to 22:00. But I can't block webpages on Tuesday from 9:00 to 13:00 and 15:00 to 22:00, unless I block them from 9:00 to 22:00, which is not my intention. Will there be an option to set more than one time frame per day?

Is there a way to change the intervals in the "Pause Blocking" option? There are moments where I would like to unblock a page for a minute, but seeing the "1 day" option is a bit too tempting...

Thank you, the extension is super helpful and time-saving

The reverse mode (whitelist) is excellent for only allowing 10 or so websites. Perfect.
The export/import is a bit tedious though when there's multiple user accounts that need the same rules and a new site is added; could do with some sort of command line import that I can run on each Windows account.

I never consciously set up a master password and yet it keeps asking for one. Apparently it went it there now. Maybe I typed something on accident and saved, who knows. Anyway, I'm stuck. How to reset that master password/ the whole add-on?

[parrata]

is there something like a pre-made list of recommended blocks?

[SgtSchear]

Is there an "import" option to import a list of sites someone might already be blocking via another method? I'd hate to think I have to manually type in 100s of sites.

Is there any way to stop this Block Site browser extension's own pop up from always popping up to tell me which of the many sites they've blocked? Make this "Block Site" extension pointless. Just another pop up i dont need

If I donate a couple of bucks, could you add an option where you can pick which "Pause blocking" options there are? Currently there's everything from 10 minutes to 24 hours. I think anything above 1 hour is too long, and preferably I'd just like 10 minutes and 30 minutes.

google play games will open their play store link to a game after you watch an in game ad, is there a way to block it without the new tab opening? Which then forces me to close the tab and find the old tab I was previously on.

[marcusmarcula]

whats stopping users from just turning it off? Defeats the purpose, at least block site through chrome alerts via email and makes it so you cant just shut it off.

I can't set master passsword on firefox! I type in a word, click on save password but it doesn't work, it doesn't say "option saved" what can I do?

(Version 0.4.6) 'Blocked Since' - is it possible to show the first and not the latest time by settings anyway? Need the view for checking how long the site is blocked in general

[ShinichiConan]

How can you block a website for just a certain period of time?

[seminoleroleplay]

Is there a way that I can make my own page so that on my domain if someone types the password correctly it will unblock the site for them?

[DonswatchingtheTube]

Could a list of blocked sites be transferred to various browsers?
Could the settings roam virtually to control various devices, PCs, laptops, smartphones, and tablets?
Is there a way to populate a list of sites (porn) without having to view them?

[reverendcaptain]

I type in a password but the setup remains ghosted. I can't get it to work.

[twincamspit]

Anyone know how to stop it from being uninstalled or disabled?
It's great as a general tool to dissuade browsing sites when you should be working, but dead easy for anyone to ditch it even without the password :(
