Eh
It works, except for the problem that Safari has a button on the blocked page that says “Reload Without Content Blockers” that makes using this app/extension worthless. You would have to have the best impulse control in the world to use this, and in that case you wouldn’t need a web blocker to begin with.
This means you can browse to a blocked site and bypass the block within 1 second by clicking on a button. The web blocker that’s supposed to cause friction and make you re-evaluate your decision to go on a blocked site doesn’t have any friction at all. It’s just one click on a button right in front of your face.
I’m mad that it wasn’t even mentioned anywhere that this would be the case or else I wouldn’t have even bought this. It’s $5 down the drain as far as I’m concerned.

Great, simple and effective
Blockaclious is a great, straightforward and effective app. It’s simple to set up, works reliably, and does an excellent job of blocking unwanted websites. It’s exactly what I needed.
The November 2025 update is really strong too! Smoother performance and cleaner design. A brilliant update to an already useful extension.

good
does what i wanted, which is block websites of choice without a bunch of other cruft.
I simply LOVE it!!!
No data collection.
No meddling with child/parent nonsense.
No “trying to stay in focus” … (like someone blaming the other App for “I lack self-control but this app makes it too easy for me to turn the access back on” 🤦🏻♂️).
Just blocking a site(s) that I have no interest in visiting ever, but “offered” by search engines’ advertising all the time!!
Thank you, man!!! Great addon.
It is free too - as a free-choice should be!!!
Will be glad to donate/pay for it.

Domain entries are a bit finiky. Otherwise great
Overall the app is solid. However, the domain entry has to have the correct prefix otherwise it may not get blocked. In my case i had to add 'www.' before the website name for it to work. I originally tried 'http://website.com' and 'https://website.com' and just 'website.com' and those didn't get blocked as i could still access 'website.com'. Also is there no way to delete a domain entry? Not a big deal but would be nice to have for sure.
