About Self Control -- Block sites and stay focused

v3.2.0 - Add feature to change message on block screen - Fixed ability to block x.com v3.1.0 - **Enhanced Performance:** Improved page blocking internals for a smoother browsing experience. - **Bug Fixes:** - Fixed scroll for block patterns. - Fixed bugs in focus mode where it didn't end on time. -- Self Control -- A simple app to keep you focused online by blocking sites that you spend way too much time on. Note that the app works by blocking patterns within the full url. For example if you were to block the pattern "book" the sites www.facebook.com and books.google.com would both be blocked. Focus free mode prevents you from removing block patterns from the app for a fixed amount of time. By default this is one hour, but it can be changed in settings. By default the extension is always running. To change this so that the extension only runs when focus mode is enabled, toggle 'Always on' in settings to Off.
