Do you not have other browsers besides Firefox installed?

My brain know that it can get around Leechblock by using Safari or Chrome.

In fact, my brain knows it can disable Leechblock by going Tools > Add-ons and clicking on the appropriate "Disable" button. Or if Leechblock lacks a "Disable" button, by uninstalling Leechblock and installing it again later.

I explicitly uninstalled my other browsers, in point of fact. Reinstalling them is enough trouble that it's no worth it. I know that I've known about the disable-the-addon trick, but I definitely forgot about it.

It'll be interesting to see if you've just sabotaged me with the reminder.

Good news! The latest version of Leechblock allows you to disable the disable and uninstall buttons!

Ouch. Sorry!
