Reviews & Comments of Morphine chrome extension

Excellent, wish I had found it sooner. Doesn't appear to be maintained (no updates for ~6 years), but still works perfectly fine.

Brilliant

Good, solid productivity extension. I am now procrastinating by using this review, but it does its job. I just wish it was more updated, seems like the last update was ~2015

Phenomenal extension! currently is the only thing keeping me going in school.

control option is very badly designed.

Genius! I think it has the best approach to blocking distracting websites out of all the extensions I tried.

can't find a reason to hate it yet! (:

I love the concept of this and I haven't come across anything like this extension, but a lot of work still needs to be done. I wish that there was an option to choose how much of the balance I can use instead of it being used all at once, and another issue happened where I clicked on the amount of balance and it all disappeared.. I'm not sure if this was a glitch, but I was a bit irritated since I've been saving up the balance so I could spend more time on the blocked sites for later and now it's all gone. If these things can be fixed, it would be 5 stars for me.

God is this annoying! Just wanted to quickly go to Youtube and can't. It is educational! Only 10-20 minutes.... Love this app. It is insane how often I subconsciously go off and then lose 1-2h mindlessly browsing. This helps so much. Especially the idea to allow the sites if you had done enough productive stuff UPFRONT is insanely helpful.

All missing features I want are on the todo list. Otherwise genius extension.

Excellent app, just wish there was a version for firefox mobile

Did anyone find something similar for android (to limit time in certain apps)?

Exactly what I needed. Frustrating at first but if you install this you're already admitting you have a problem.

Morphine saved my life - or at least, it saved my job.

Some statistics could be good. Like "how much time overall today you've spent there". Maybe some whitelist time, but actually it's even better this way. I've started working much more productive and also understood a little bit about myself. Even the moment about comments is good - I'm all like "my comment!... But was it really worth it?"

I like how it made feel like a drug addict. It really shows how addicting social media can be.

It would be great if could add some option to schedule the blocking time. For example, I would like to check facebook from 12pm to 1pm because is my lunch time. If you do, I will give 5 stars.

Very useful.

It's nice, but I would like to enable it only during work hours. It would also be better if it didn't refresh the page after you pass the time limit and decide to administer a little bit more Morphine.

I love this as it keeps me from browsing Reddit too much at work. However, sometimes I am writing a response in Reddit and when I get blocked by the extension and then unlock it with a little more time... my comment is entirely lost. I just lost 20 minutes of work on this. This is essentially the same problem that Tad experienced and it due entirely to the hard redirect. Still a wonderful intervention but it really needs to be more respectful of users interactions with blocked pages. I changed this rating from 3 to 5 stars now that I see that you can modify the code on github. I consider this feature to be "my problem" and not yours as a result.

Works as advertised but there are a few things that grate a little. For example, if I give myself a minute and I'm scrolling through reddit comments, when it times out and I give myself a minute more, I'm taken back up to the top of the reddit page, instead of resuming where I left off. Also, it seems to screw with the browser back button. When I give myself more time after it times out, I can no longer use the back button to go back to pages on the same site that I'd previously viewed; it acts as if the page I'm on is the only one I've visited on the site. These minor things aside, I like the concept.

It just needs better UI controls so you don't have to open the options to add a site.

This extension is injecting Google Analytics code into pages, nice way to spy on us dude :(

Great concept and a nice implementation of a give-and-take system. + Rewards you for being in control + Nice UI + Easy to use + Discreet - Settings is a wall of text at the moment - When the timer runs out it redirects you to another page, interrupting typing or buffering - Doesn't transfer its settings between computers - No wildcards allowed This will get a 5-star rating if you fix the wildcard option or make the settings sync between computers

Only complaint: When the timer runs out, the page is fully redirected rather than having an overlay like similar extensions. This can be really frustrating if you were, for example, typing up a comment as the comment will likely be erased and unrecoverable (even Lazarus sometimes doesn't have enough time to save it).

Great extension!!

Thank you, it's very helpful.

Love this idea, however I would prefer if when you spend minutes, that it be just for the site you permitted. For me, I can easily check my FB in less than a minute, as well as my mail, and other social feeds. I know I could balance this by increasing the amount of time it takes for me to gain tokens, but I still think I can easily cheat this. A last suggestion is to implement a password system, just now I combine this with Stay Focused to use the Nuclear option to block the chrome extensions page.

Love the concept and app. I like that it carries over from each of my devices so I don't have to reinstall, but the settings don't, and more frustratingly, neither does my balance. So when I spend a day of diligent work at the office and return home, I have a 0 balance because I haven't been working on my home computer today. So I open firefox and binge.

so helpful when i need to concentrate

most f*cking awesome addon ever thank you developer for this.

Fantastic design. The concept really works, much better than the other blocking extensions out there. Just one suggestion though - can you include an option to clear the balance? Because every morning I will end up with lots of minutes which I should not be spending. Keep up the good work!

This is awesome. Definitely ups my efficiency in a big way. Great work, Tomas Kazec.

This app is much better than some other apps for keeping you off distracting sites...ahem reddit and facebook...this helps me do my work, homework, and also lets me get some fun in too. The configuration and interface is easy and has the essentials needed to make a great setup. Thanks for the great add-on.

Cool Idea!! Just downloaded a traditonal blocker which didn't have the balance function, but pulled out my old copy of WebUser and found Morphine!

Really nice, everyone seems to have their own ideas, so I'll go ahead and throw mine in too: Couldn't it have a popup or something to give a 1 minute warning? The icon's really small on its own. It would also be nice to have like a countdown timer on the block page or something that lets you see how much time until your next fix. Also, is there a cap at 72? If so, that is an absolutely terribly idea. It's just a facebook game, pretty much forcing me to use my minutes or end up wasting them, and in no way seems like a reward.

This is great. Though it would be really useful if there could be a start and stop time for when sites are blocked.

would be nice to have an option to give balance out in less than 10 min intervals, also give a clearer balance usage page, instead of the weird squares. Also I keep getting distracted by checking how much time I have on the balance when not unblocking sites (so the amount i accumulate). please add an option to show the amount of accumulated time at a glance instead of having to click on the button to see. Fix these and its 5 stars. great tool :P.

No words. Just awesome. I had been thinking on this idea a long time, and now someone actually made it. No words.

Wonderful concept of self-control! It's more adaptative than a strict timer. However, this setup breaks (usability wise) when you close and open chrome and then there's the issue of leaving your chrome on idle. Some refinement there, but useable at this stage.

Fantastic idea, simple but functional design. I love/hate it...so it must be working.

Especially useful for distractions that are sometimes necessary for a minute, like news, or Wikipedia, but unchecked become a time waster. The interface is clean, fast, and blends well with Chrome.I love the concept of letting you get your "fix" when you need it.

Great idea! With my previous 'productivity extension,' I was easily tempted into just disabling it after I ran out of time. With this, I can control my breaks better. With more features (like the ones mentioned by Karl), it could be even better!

Awesome idea, looks like I'll actually be doing productive things with my time instead of wasting away on Reddit - with little well-earned breaks, of course.

The idea is really neat, but it would be much more useful if it let you start out with a certain number of points, so you could be on the blocked sites for 2 minutes (or whatever) before you had to start working. It would also be great if you had more time options. I would like to use 5 minutes, but it isn't there. Setting it to only run at certain times of the day would be nice too.
