User reviews
Got it to limit my time on youtube shorts. Didn't work for whatever reason.


I used Limit for roughly a year, and it worked okay, but never exceptionally to me, and that was mainly because the UI made it extremely easy to disable the extension (without hard-turning it off or removing it). If you're someone like me who will frequently open distracting sites if feeling a little dull, limit might not be the best for you.
