Block Site is praised for its simplicity, open-source nature, and ease of use without ads or subscriptions. Users appreciate its effectiveness in blocking websites and clean interface. However, common complaints include inability to block specific URLs, requirement to manually add subdomains, lack of a convenient context menu 'block this site' feature, and unclear UI feedback on blocking status. There are also requests for added features like password protection and redirection after blocking.
