Dynamic Website Blocker: Stay Focused and Productive
Dynamic Website Blocker is a Chrome add-on developed by ethanhuang301. As a free browser extension, it falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This handy tool helps users stay focused and productive by implementing a unique approach to website blocking.
The main feature of Dynamic Website Blocker is its ability to earn points through productive sites in order to view unproductive sites. It employs a system of rewards and punishments to keep users on task without outright restricting websites. For every minute spent on a "merit site", users can earn points, while spending time on a "demerit site" results in points being deducted. Once the points reach zero, the "demerit site" gets blocked, and users have to earn points again to regain access.
The add-on offers several useful features to enhance its functionality. It includes an autofill feature that populates the block list with common distractor sites, making it easier for users to get started. Users can also customize the points system by setting the merit and demerit weights, determining how many points are added or subtracted per minute on respective sites. The add-on also allows users to enable or disable settings, with the option to reset points if the add-on is disabled. Additionally, users can set a maximum limit for points accumulated and choose whether to reset points after closing the browser. For added convenience, Dynamic Website Blocker provides a permanent block list to permanently block specific websites and the ability to block websites by category, such as adult sites.
