Pros

Highly customizable interval and session settings for blocking.
Simple, intuitive, and functional interface that is easy to use.
Effectively blocks distracting websites and helps prevent endless scrolling on social media.
Offers freedom to activate blocking manually without relying on fixed schedules.
Restores blocked tabs seamlessly after blocking period ends, unlike other blockers.

Cons

Does not block certain websites despite being added (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, music.youtube.com).
Limited functionality with HTTPS sites; some are not blocked properly.
Does not work in Incognito Mode, limiting effectiveness for some users.
Some users experience issues with pausing or blocking functionality not working as expected.

Minha favorita!! Adoro as frases de motivação e as opções de customização dos intervalos.

muito boa mesmo, dá pra definir tempo, sessões de bloqueio, só que infelizmente ela não está bloqueando o twitter, mesmo que coloquei a URL nova

Total disappointment, useless. I set a pause to 15 minutes and it let me use the prohibitet webs indefinitely!!! It let me play lichess.org indefinitely and even youtube after that limit. This is totally useless.
