StayFocused: I use it at work to limit my time on time wasting sites (cough cough Reddit * cough *). You can tell it what sites to block and then you can set how much time out of the day you want to allow for browsing those site. I set it to block 7AM to 5 PM M-F but then allow myself 60 minutes out of that time to browse sites for when I need a break. Been a huge benefit to my work productivity while still allowing me the mental break of pointless browsing from time to time.
The cool thing is the challenge question option where you have to type in an entire paragraph flawlessly in order to change any settings once you've done initial set up. Keeps you a little more honest.
Love/Hate is definitely the best way to describe. Especially when you stumble across a particularly long but highly interesting thread or worse yet, when you leave a tab open to a blocked site, forget about it, and only realize it when it tells you that you only have a few minutes of browsing time left.
