by Firefox user 13425543, 8 years agoI used to love it. Simple and did the job. Now with the latest update it opens itself in a new tab every time I open Firefox. And it's setting itself to send statistics home without asking. Go into settings and turn it off, restart Firefox and it resets to send again. I'll give it a few days to see if they fix this. If not, it's gone and I'll look for something else. Another case of developers gone wild. The goal is to improve software, not make it worse. (30 years experience developing software)

posted 8 years agoHi,
Thanks for your review!
Please note that due to the strict deadline of Firefox, urging extensions to move to the new WebExtension standard, we had to release a new version as soon as possible.
We are aware of the fact that this update has caused some bugs and irregularities. We would like to assure you that every review and user feedback is being checked thoroughly to understand what matters to our users and what needs to be fixed.
It’s important to note that we are working on fixing these issues as we speak but not only that - we are also planning on making Blocksite better than ever before with significant improvements.
We apologize for this inconvenience. Your patience and understanding are much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Blocksite Support

- Rated 5 out of 5by tiktoktaipei, 3 months agoI like it—I wish there were more features like this. Thanks to the ability to block hateful and annoying websites, my work focus has improved significantly!

- Rated 2 out of 5by Lunaa :3, 8 months agoadult block feature clearly doesnt work, blocks gaycity (based off another review) which seems to just be a lgbt support group center thingy, but does not block e621, a infamous furry porn site. Probably some stupid logic like erm actkually its just a art board that just so happens to be mainly porn but still.
i dont care much though im just using this to block character.ai - Rated 1 out of 5by Lapsha, 8 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19142838, 9 months agoNo intuitive way to actually start using this. It is installed, but I cannot actually block any sites.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Jaimes, 9 months agoDoes what it says on the tin. I just wish it worked faster. The webpage loads before BlockSite blocks it. Kind of a bummer, but better than nothing.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16458633, 9 months agoWith this addon, firefox uses twice as much CP as without it. I don't know why, but i'll rather delete it.
