Legacy Version Usage Instructions

We are committed to providing users with the best product experience and technical support. With the continuous development of technology, we have had to adjust our support strategy for older versions:

Versions No Longer Supported

Except for versions 1+ and 2+, all other older versions (including but not limited to v0.1-v1.0, v2.0-v2.9, etc.) are no longer supported. This means:

No more security updates or bug fixes
No more technical support or troubleshooting services
No more feature or compatibility updates

Reasons for Discontinuation

Outdated Technology: Older versions are based on outdated technical architectures and cannot adapt to modern operating systems and browser environments
Security Risks: Older versions have potential security vulnerabilities that cannot be fixed in a timely manner
High Maintenance Costs: Maintaining multiple versions simultaneously diverts development resources, affecting the iteration speed of new versions
Large Function Differences: Older versions have significant functional differences from the current version, resulting in high support costs

Recommended Upgrade Path

If you are still using an unsupported older version, we strongly recommend upgrading to the latest version:

Back up your current configuration data (if any)
Uninstall the old version of the software
Download the latest version from our official website: https://websiteblocker.vercel.app/download
Install the latest version and reconfigure your settings

Important Note

Continuing to use unsupported older versions may cause the software to not work properly, pose security risks, and may be incompatible with new operating systems. Please upgrade to the latest version as soon as possible for the best experience and security.
