YAM Allowlist Manager

Browser extension that automatically blocks all pages from any website that is not in your list of allowed websites.

YAM Allowlist Manager is an open-source, privacy-focused Chrome extension designed to enhance your online security by allowing access only to websites you approve. Simply create a list of allowed websites, and YAM blocks all others automatically.

This extension synchronizes your list across all devices linked to your Chrome account, making it especially useful for managing children’s online activities by controlling which sites they can visit in near real-time. Although you can also block all third-party content, this requires advanced setup due to dependencies on external content for some websites. For support, you can contact the developer via email or visit the GitHub repository at https://github.com/sarangak/yam-allowlist-manager.

User reviews

I am searching for a solution for long time with pfsense. This is an easy way but the problems i found is 1.user can unistall the plugin 2.user can disable plugin

It was more trouble than it was worth, its not dynamic it blocked websites if they weren't precise so if I said block everything except youtube.com it would block all videos because its its not "youtube.com" but of course you have the video tag link and everything so you would have to add each individual video to safe list, same with webpages it blocked a page because I didn't add a "/" at the very end of the link. Needs some work.
