Blocked Search Chrome Extension Analysis

Listing positioning

The product is positioned as a productivity and focus tool designed to stop procrastination. It specifically targets 'unproductive searches' by blocking results unless the user includes pre-approved keywords in their query.

Inferred product pattern

Restrictive whitelist-based filter for search engine queries.

Review-backed pain points

Some users expect the extension to block specific websites (e.g., Reddit) from appearing in search results, rather than blocking the search query itself.

Observed feature gaps

Lack of an exception list (blacklisting specific phrases while allowing others) and the inability to block specific domains within search results.

Support

No support or account-related complaints observed.

Reliability

No significant reliability issues reported, though some users found the tool 'useless' due to a mismatch in expectations.

Privacy

No privacy or security complaints observed.
