by greg.healy, 5 years agoAwesome extension! I'd previously been using one call "Impulse Blocker" and, while it would sometimes stop me from visiting the blocked sites, I'd often just unblock it and visit it anyways. The gamification of staying busy with streaks and a notification of how "busy" I've been for the day is fantastic. It makes me more aware of my usage, and it almost feels like the extension is challenging me in a taunting kind of "bet you can't stay away" way.
The only drawback that I encountered while setting it up had to do with the schedule. Because I use the "resistFingerprinting" option in my privacy settings, Firefox provides the extension with the current time in UTC. It would be nice to be able to tick a box that says "I'm using resistFingerprinting" and then select the timezone that the schedule uses (e.g. EST or PST). From there the extension could just calculate the difference in the timezones to apply the correct schedule.

- Rated 5 out of 5by John, 8 months agoI was looking for an app similar to Screen Zen which I used on android and this works just as well. Helped me go from 2-4 hours of YouTube every day to about 50 minutes a day, the fact that it shows you your time for the day makes you more aware of the amount of time you waste on useless videos, which helped me start to bring down my time from 50 minutes to about 20 minutes in the past few weeks. This extension really helped me make another big step in my life.
