"Other reviewers don't know what they're talking about"
Version: BlockSite 0.7.1.1
Pros
Blocks sites, prevents the links from even being clickable
Cons
You need to know what you're doing? o_O
Summary
This extension does NOT block every site, as the other reviewers state. The problem is the users mistakenly creating wildcard filters that match all sites. It's not an issue with the extension. Learn how to use it.
I'm using BlockSite 0.7.1.1 in Firefox 4 and it works totally fine. Check your filters. One of them is overreaching.
Can't believe a CNET editor would publicly admit to incompetence like this. -
"Used to work"
Version: BlockSite 0.7.1.1
Pros
It used to block the sites that I wanted it to, while allowing me to see other sites.
Cons
Now it usually blocks every single site and has to be disabled.
Summary
It used to work, but lately (since Firefox 4? Since I added to many sites to my list?) it blocks all sites, just as described in the cnet review. I've gone through a lot of gyrations of disabling and enabling it and it may have worked briefly, but mostly it just blocks everything. I'm looking for an alternative.
