Boost Your Productivity with the Ultimate Chrome Extension!

the best one i could find on the internet. Dev should add routine blocking time feature

Best extension! It keeps me away from social media that actually eats my productive time. God bless you

Stops you from opening a website like you tell it too, but sometimes it take a while after "distraction free mode" expires for it to give you access again.

best

please fix some bugs. add scroll bar plz

Worked perfectly for a long time, but for the last month or so it's mostly half-working or just not working at all.

Broken and out of date. The UI doesn't even fit in the little pop up window.

It would be good if there was a crawling option, there are many problems if there is not. if it is static, if you input more sites, you will not be able to go down in any way. So the extension is Jose

Seems like it hasn't been updated in a while, so there's some bugs. I can't change the hours slot, and the list of sites you've blocked doesn't let you scroll down to turn on self control, so you have to delete them, turn on self control, then manually add the sites back. It's a life saver for studying, so I put up with these buggy aspects but if I found a similar extension that works better I would go to that.

I love it. Just the tool i needed!

The "wildcard" blocking is absolutely fantastic - stopping me from even searching for distracting websites!

I have been looking for a simple website blocker to stay focused on my tasks and this one definitely takes the cake. Great work.

Extension works great, and serves the purpose. Everything comes down to some will power at the end, but this does a good job. There is one glaring UI flaw - if you add too many websites so that the restricted pattern list exceeds the size of the extension box, you cannot access the button to start the focus period, as there is no scroll functionality to scroll below. Secondly, some flexibility in adjusting the focus period, or patters similar to a Pomodoro timer would be nice.

Lifechanging extension. I've previously been using stayfocusd for the past 2 years to stay off distracting websites, but I quickly found a flaw in that extension that allows meesing around with inactive tabs by dragging another one into focus (allows full scrolling of sites like reddit and watching sites like youtube). I tried to shift to freedom, but they don't allow any wildcards or anything. This extension both blocks inactive tabs (making it pretty much impossible to get around), AND allows "wildcard" bloccking of specific prases in urls. I can block specific channels in youtube but not others (ex, allow a youtube playlist but nothing else), ealsily block all reddit mirrors, and all of this pushes me to avoid them cold turkey. It's wonderful, and it's really forced me to actually improve my life over the past week. Tip for people who try disabling or uninstalling the protection: You can make it impossible to install by messing with the registry to think its installed by an administrator (here's a website displaying an example: https://www.alphr.com/prevent-chrome-extensions-removed/). Do the process, restart your computer, and as long as you can't download any browsers (easily done by blocking their download urls!), you are pretty much completely stuck with this extension. The only issue I have is that the "Distraction Free Mode" (which just so you know, can be accessed with a large bock list by typing in random junk in the text field and not getting any results), only can last for a maximum of 24 hours. I'd really like to just prevent changes for more like 50 days, but putting the reset time in the night I don't tend to exploit it. Overall an absolutely amazing extension. With some slightly weird stuff happening to stayfocusd right now, I can't recommend it enough. It lacks a lot of fancy functionality (which I hope might be added in later updates), but it does what it needs to very well.
