Hello Guys,
How do you stay focused on the web? This tutorial is about an add-on that can help you stay focused when using the web. I will not say this is the best. It might not work for everyone. If you have any other tip that can help stay focused on the web, do well to share with us all, by commenting below this article.
Good, everyone here will agree with me that when on the web we always try to Facebook, Tweet, or let me just say visit sites of our interest which are mostly are of no important to us at that moment.
Having come across this tool, it can be used to block sites of our interest, just within our browsers. As the name suggests, the add-on is called Block site. We can unblock whenever you wish yourself. This add-on is available to both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox users.
