User reviews
I really liked this extension, and it worked great to stop me from visiting distracting sites. However, it looks like a recent Firefox update has broken it. I jumped into a debug window and I think that the problem is that Firefox now has a "loading" tab change sent before it actually sends the updated site. Slow Down seems to only look at the "loading" tab, not the actual site.

Does not abuse processing power compared to some extensions of the same category (Leechblock).
