Review Summary

Pros

  • Effectively blocks unwanted gossip and scam websites, improving browsing experience.
  • Supports regular expressions for advanced and flexible blocking configurations.
  • User-friendly with features like soft block and keyword block that meet user needs well.
  • Does not collect user information, preserving privacy.
  • Highly appreciated by users for improving study focus and reducing online distractions.

Cons

  • Functionality has degraded or stopped working due to Google's changes in browser or search engine policies.
  • Inconsistent blocking behavior, with blocked sites sometimes reappearing during page refreshes or scrolling.
  • Hard block feature is not fully functional; sometimes only soft blocking or partial blocking works.
  • Blocking causes Google to present frequent CAPTCHA or image verifications, possibly due to how the extension preloads sites.
