Not compatible with Cold Turkey Blocker and Stayfree Blocker (Chrome extension)

Audacity

Compatibility: blockers do not block websites as intended

Orion, macOS Ventura 13.0; M1 MBA

Would also love to see this fixed! I have tried both the Firefox and Chrome extensions for Cold Turkley Blocker. They do not seem to "connect" to the main Cold Turkey application I have installed. Here is a screenshot of what the extension looks like when installed.

Coming in for an update here. It seems that something has updated, the Cold Turkey extension now connects to the main application on my mac, it shows how many sites are being blocked and such, but it doesn't actually block the said sites (though they do seem to reload regularly for some reason).

I'm getting a weird behavior:

I can install the extension via chrome store and it functions properly on the extension bar, but instead of blocking the sites in your block list, it closes the whole browser without warning.

I wrote a message to the Cold Turkey Blocker developer, he kindly answered me, that it would be maintenance heavy to support Orion and that he has no plan to implement it, because there's not much demand/requests for it at the moment.

I just wrote to the Cold Turkey developer, he said he still has no plans to support Orion due to the maintenance burden, but he might in future if there's more demand. So this is the expected behaviour and not something Orion can fix.

For anyone following this ticket, I found the LeechBlock NG chrome extension does a good job of replicating Cold Turkey's functionality in the browser (and I still use Cold Turkey for non-browser blocking).
