by Firefox user 13434860, 9 years agoThis add-on is now completely useless to me. It used to be great until a few days ago. I used it to block the URLs of annoying embedded portions of otherwise useful websites. I was able block websites based on just part of the URL without needing to know the whole web address (for example I could even input the wildcard *biz* if I wanted to block anything from [.biz] domain. It was super awesome and useful. And every time it blocked a site, I just got a discreet little popup in the bottom right of the screen telling me that a part of the website was blocked. Blocked embedded areas just showed as blank, nice and simple. Now all of that is gone! Suddenly this extension is absolutely USELESS with the new update. Wildcard entry (blocking any URL which contains a specific character-string) appears to now not be supported. NOT WORTH THE EFFORT OF EVEN DOWNLOADING THE ADD-ON! Like somebody else below, I actually created a new Mozilla account just so that I could write this review! That's how disappointed and upset I am with the new update. II would give Zero Stars if I could. Come on guys! Why did you have to take something that was so very useful and break it? Will somebody please write a new extension that does what this one did before a few days ago? Please?

- Rated 5 out of 5by tiktoktaipei, 7 months agoI like it—I wish there were more features like this. Thanks to the ability to block hateful and annoying websites, my work focus has improved significantly!

- Rated 2 out of 5by Lunaa :3, a year agoadult block feature clearly doesnt work, blocks gaycity (based off another review) which seems to just be a lgbt support group center thingy, but does not block e621, a infamous furry porn site. Probably some stupid logic like erm actkually its just a art board that just so happens to be mainly porn but still.
i dont care much though im just using this to block character.ai - Rated 1 out of 5by Lapsha, a year ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19142838, a year agoNo intuitive way to actually start using this. It is installed, but I cannot actually block any sites.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Jaimes, a year agoDoes what it says on the tin. I just wish it worked faster. The webpage loads before BlockSite blocks it. Kind of a bummer, but better than nothing.
