Blocks music.youtube.com while enabled for exact match of youtube.com

Since the new (completely unnecessary and forced on us) rebranding and change in interface, it does not allow an instance of a blocked site to be unblocked for extended periods of time. I like to have a YouTube tab to play music, but no matter what I do (activating the switch in the quick options that reads “Keep unblocked after hold,” or tweaking the Preferences section) it always ends up reblocking it after a while by itself, or when I open another instance of the blocked site.

v3.0 broke my settings. started blocking music.youtube.com when I only wanted to block www.youtube.com. I tried messing around in the settings but couldn't get it to distinguish between the two no matter which options I checked. Will switch to a different website blocker.

I am really happy about this extension, especially the timer thing. I mostly live on the keyboard and type... quite fast and off muscle memory... So, an issue I had was that I would just jump to Reddit in a very subconscious way and before I even realised what I did, I was already scrolling and by that point, it was too late, I was hooked. This extension does a really good job by putting a gate on the entry and asking: Are you SURE you want to go in? Most of the time, the answer is no and I realise what I did before I start scrolling and get hooked. However, if I do have a legitimate reason to go in, which is not often, yet also not never... I can just wait a couple of seconds and go in without having to get rid of the gate. Really love this, thank you for making it!

It is good, but the scheduling is not working correctly. Maybe it works on certain time-zones? Idk

Blocks sites but the scheduled blocking function doesn't work? I set it to block from 9am to 11pm but I was able to access any site on the block list during those hours, then it randomly started blocking sites at 10pm and wouldn't stop even if I changed the block to only be from 9am to 9pm.

This is exactly what I wanted - I can customize hours and days to block sites, and there's even an easy functionality to hold a button for the time of your choosing if you NEED to access a site. I found myself wasting too much time on social media instead of getting actual quality work done, and this has been absolutely perfect.
