Save Valuable Time – Block Facebook for 75% of Your Time

View Comments

Lior Levin asked me today if it’s possible to create a Firefox extension, that will block Facebook part of the time. As a result, I created a Firefox extension (a compiled Greasemonkey) that blocks Facebook for 45 minutes each hour (form :16 to :59), i.e. blocking Facebook for 75% of your time.

This is a very rough alpha version. It will work, but it has a lot more to do with.

Will be glad to hear if you’re using it, and what you think of it.

    somehow it doesn't work. I tried to dowload the extension and unpack it with winrar, but it didn't extract any files. oh help, i need this - facebook is depressing.
  • You don't need to unpack it- you need to open it with Firefox.
  • cool :)
    but can you update it, it don't work on ff version 3.5.2
    thanks!
  • I'm a bit busy right now, so can't commit. But it's sort of open source,
    you're more than welcome to download the greasemonkey version and fix it for
    FF 3.5.2. Thanks!
  • will this only work with firefox? I have safari, but need this program so badly! facebook is going to steal my life from me.
  • excellent! :)
  • btw, since then the number of days we saved climbed to 85 days :)
