- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14734657, 7 years agoI put this on for Reddit, Twitter and Youtube with 5 minute allowances every 4 hours. Works like a charm and has helped me really cut down on time spent
 - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14730754, 7 years agoI'm productive now! though i wish you could set a 16 character random password for override, because i feel 32 is a bit too long
 - Rated 4 out of 5by 11, 7 years agoIn firefox 66.0.2 I cannot update settings with the option " save & close " ... For some reason once has been closed up I can still joining blocked sites ... Can you actually check if this is happening ? I would appreciate if can be fixed up... Great add-on by the way. I would appreciate if you can answer me, thanks!

 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14670372, 7 years agoI hate it less than I love it. I hate it because it does its job PERFECTLY. And now I'm blocked, but it helps with my addiction to screen / infinite scroll / ...
I know I could go through it, but it creates an obstacle, which helps me do something else, spending more time away from the screen
Thank you, this is more than useful, it's not "just" productivity but even mental health.
Thank you so much.Developer response
posted 7 years agoYes, you can add exceptions: https://www.proginosko.com/leechblock/faq/exceptions/ - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14663601, 7 years agoMuch needed! Should be an inbuilt feature in the browsers :D. I love the "Block Set" feature, thereby I can categorize my distraction websites and set different block times for each set.
 - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14659692, 7 years agoProbably a bug, but this extension slows firefox down to a crawl on Kubuntu 18.04 (up to date as of 02/25/19). Loading URL webpages takes significantly longer.
 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13510844, 7 years agoVery useful. Has all the features you would want from such an extension. Really improves productivity!
Developer is also very helpful and quick to respond to questions! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14650496, 7 years ago
 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14649934, 7 years agoThis thing is great if you have attention issues like me and love to switch to time wasting pages. Does what its supposed to do. Now if only I could make myself do that also.
 - Rated 5 out of 5by luuf, 7 years agoThis is a fantastic blocker, where I can specify precisely what I want! The only thing that I'd wish for is more than 6 block-sets, so that I can be even more specific about what I want to do with each site.

 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14632191, 7 years agoSimple, feature-rich, and very transparent - great add-on!
 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14628236, 7 years agoI've been using leechblock for years. Great functionality, really improved my productivity. I recommend it to all my students.
 - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14616129, 7 years agoOh, performance... After deleting this add-on a CPU usage becomes 0-3% again (but it was 30%!)

posted 7 years agoThanks for the review. Sorry to hear about the performance issue. I've had a few reports of it, but not enough to trace the problem. Please consider posting this as an issue on GitHub (see support page) so I can gather more info. Thanks!
