Reviews of url blocker:
I love this app; I wish there was a way to export your settings...Other than that, this app is excellent.
It is really very easy to use. The most perfect extension ever!!
Does not work as advertised. I wanted to just block website.com$ so that default navigation to that site was blocked, but any specific URLs would go through. This doesn't work. Uninstalling.
I loved it. It works well, pretty light, simple, no redirects, no ads, no collecting personal information... Just perfect.
So it does what it's supposed to, but IDK if it's 100% safe...
Used to work but now does not. I put in a URL like https://nordvpn.com and test it on the testbed below, and it always says "not blocked." It used to block nicely.
How to UNBLOCK url? i do not find it anywhere in extension settings!
In the instructions it says: "Use regular expressions to block URLs (e.g. http[s]?:\/\/.*?\.someevildomain\.com.*)" So I tried this: http[s]?:\/\/.*?\.weather\.com.* Weather.com and all subpages loads perfectly, not blocked at all. Am I missing something here?
It works like charm
Just Works.™ No complex unneeded interface. No BS. Just Works.
Definitely going to help with productivity, ty!
I really liked it, except it can't seem to figure out how to block twitter.com. I suspect they do some weird re-directing.
Doesn't work for about:blank
works
Does what it says. Easy to configure.
Effectiveness 5/5 - Works really well, allows blocking of any URL. Usability 3/5 - Unusual format for adding sites to a block list. Overall 4/5 - Would reccomend
