2022-06-04	Muscogulus	Helpful at first, but the extension interrupts every window or tab spawned by a monitored service as if it is the first one. I sometimes feel I have spent a large portion of my allotted time waiting on the Pause green butterfly. If you are setting up a new account at a business site that uses, say, Twitter for authentication, the tiny window that pops up gives you the green butterfly instead of the form you need.
2021-11-05	Virat Saluja	Would love to give this extension 5 stars! But please look into the issue of Blocking "google.com" seems to block all the google services along with the search page. (Example: gmail.com, google drive etc.)

2021-07-26	Firefox user 16965144	I loved this extension, it's perfect for adding extra friction on mindless sites, until I added google. I wanted to thwart mindless googling but it now shows up on every google product, including google docs which, when I open, needs to be used immediately before I forget what I was going to type. There needs to be a way to un-indicate certain urls within a domain.
2020-12-06	Brixter	I just started to use it but I like having the control to think about if I really want to visit a site.
2020-12-06	Firefox user 15606729	It gives me time to think if I really want to go to a distracting sites or not. It's good to build self-control.
