Review Summary
Users generally appreciate 'Don't Visit - Block Sites' for its simplicity and effectiveness in helping them avoid distracting websites and improve productivity. However, multiple users report issues with inconsistent blocking of some sites, particularly Twitter and Facebook. The extension also opens an extra tab when blocking, which some find intrusive. Some users note it stops working after a while and lacks advanced features like scheduling. Despite its usefulness, the extension's lack of developer support and responsiveness is a drawback.
