Blockodile vs LeechBlock NG
Two ways to block distracting sites, compared honestly. The free, open-source power-user blocker with the deepest configuration.
Blockodile gives every blocking feature away free (with Pro from $2.99/mo for keyword blocking and full insights) and collects zero data. LeechBlock NG is the most feature-complete free blocker, and the closest match to Blockodile’s blocking, including keyword blocking. Its gaps are sync, insights, and approachability.
