Review Summary

Users find this Chrome extension highly effective and easy to use for blocking URLs, domains, and keywords, helping reduce distractions and unwanted content. They appreciate features like hiding the disable button and its speed. However, multiple reviews mention limitations such as lack of a robust password lock to prevent bypassing, inability to block short keywords or domains, missing import/export functions, and issues with the redirect behavior after blocking. Many users suggest improvements to password protection and blocking management, as well as enhancing redirection and parental control features.

Pros

  • Effectively blocks URLs, domains, and keywords as intended.
  • Allows hiding or disabling the disable button, enhancing control and making it harder to bypass.
  • Simple, fast, and easy to use with a clean interface.
  • Helps reduce distractions and filter undesirable content effectively.
  • Free with unlimited blocking options.

Cons

  • Lacks a fully functional password lock on the enable/disable feature, making it easy to bypass.
  • Cannot block keywords or domains shorter than three characters.
  • No import/export feature for blocked lists, causing inconvenience when transferring settings.
  • The redirect feature is limited or doesn't work well; closing tabs can be annoying without a customizable redirect or informative block page.
  • Cannot completely remove or block the disable button without workarounds, which some users desire especially for parental controls.

Permissions

This extension can:
