User reviews

A simple block list that you can add pages to, then turn on and off. A little friction, but not crazy friction. That's all I need. There are other addons, with a TON of options and full lockdown mode, but this is a simple On and Off addon. And I love the use animal pictures here. Now I just have to add addons.mozilla.org to the blocklist as well!
