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.

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.

Thank you! This is one of the core ideas behind the app: do one thing and do it well.
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.

Hey, thanks for the review! Yes, domains might be a bit finicky due to redirects performed by the websites. I usually recommend using *website.com as a mask that catches most of them. Regarding removing a site, you should be able to right click (or Control click) the row and select the Delete option. If that doesn't work for some reason, just highlight the row by clicking it once, and press the Delete key on the keyboard.
