Editorial Independence
Our objective is to help readers understand different blocking tools using objective comparisons. We maintain strict editorial independence. While we may receive compensation from qualifying referrals (see our affiliate disclosure), this compensation never influences our review conclusions, the inclusion of software, or the factual observations we present.
No Fake Ratings or Rankings
We do not assign arbitrary star ratings, "Best Overall" badges, or fake numerical scores. The effectiveness of a digital boundary tool is highly subjective and depends entirely on the user's technical setup and personal needs. We present the facts, the features, and the friction mechanisms, allowing you to make an informed choice.
Review Criteria
Our editorial observations focus on:
- Technical Capability: Does it block at the network level, browser level, or system level?
- Friction: How difficult is it to uninstall or bypass during moments of vulnerability?
- Platform Support: Does it cover mobile and desktop environments adequately?
