Description

WorkMode is a Google Chrome Extension that, when turned on, auto-blocks ALL social media and custom URLs & keywords from even appearing. To activate, simply click on the gray/white 'W' icon on the top-right of the Chrome browser. This will toggle the icon to 'red', meaning it's activated. You can edit which URLs are blocked by right clicking on the icon and selecting 'Options'. Note: Currently, we do not store any personal information on any external system or database aside from the local browser LocalStorage from which the Chrome extension is used. You can view the homepage at https://www.shreyravi.com/work-mode-google-chrome-extension-home-page, or our Privacy Policy at https://www.shreyravi.com/work-mode-google-chrome-extension-privacy-policy. This software was made for free, and will *never* be monetized or sold, nor will any data be intentionally collected for any purposes aside from LocalStorage on your device for app core functionality.

Idiotic extension. Instead of blocking the url, it closes also the tab or the whole browser if you have only one tab opened. TRASH.

It worked great. Now it doesn't work at all. No idea why. Fix it please?

If you're like me you have your chrome browser set to open where you left off. If you're open on a social media page when you install this blocker, like I was, then you have just locked yourself out of your chrome browser. I'm lucky I was fast enough to open a no-social media tab before it closed me out again.

I don't really see the point of this if the user can simply toggle it on and off. So if you're itching to look at Facebook and Work Mode is blocking it, simply click the icon to turn it off and hey presto, you can look at Facebook again. So the only obstacle it puts in your way is a single click. It would be much more useful if you could set a timer during which it cannot be disabled.

Great idea, just wish there was a locked/timer feature so when you do turn it on there's an option to not be able to disable it for a certain period of time.

lightweight, just a button, very nice, but you should add the possibility to add own sites / or keep track of social media networks. ie instagram isnt part of the added networks
