Description

LeechBlock NG (Next Generation) is a simple free productivity tool designed to block those time-wasting sites that can suck the life out of your working day. (You know: the ones that rhyme with 'Blue Cube', 'Space Hook', 'Sticky Media', 'Quitter', and the like.) All you need to do is specify which sites to block and when to block them.

You can specify up to 30 sets of sites to block, with different times and days for each set. You can block sites within fixed time periods (e.g., between 9am and 5pm), after a time limit (e.g., allow up to 10 minutes in every hour), or with a combination of time periods and time limit (e.g., allow up to 10 minutes in every hour between 9am and 5pm).

Additional features:

• Lockdown: Block sites immediately for a specified duration.
• Access control: Set a password or random access code for the options page, to slow you down in moments of weakness!
• Delaying: Set a countdown to delay access to sites instead of completely blocking them.
• Wildcards: Block a range of sites (e.g., *.somesite.com).
• Exceptions: Whitelist sites you don't want to be blocked (e.g., +allowedsite.com).

Love this tool. It's been a great asset in helping me stay focused on my goals. While the rule sets can be changed at any time, the gentle redirect of an automatic timer shutting off a distracting website is often all you need to slay the day!

Excellent extension that has saved me from wasting hours on websites that I only needed to spend a few minutes on (like social media sites). For those of us that just need a nudge towards good behavior, I highly recommend using this extension to help remind you to stop wasting time on the internet.

Having the capability to prevent access to extensions during the work day is great. This extension, coupled with locking my phone away, has saved me from wasting so many hours procrastinating on mundane work tasks. Thank you!
