BlockSite

BlockSite is an extension, which automatically blocks websites of your choice. Additionally, this extension will disable all hyperlinks to these websites, by just displaying the link text without the clicking functionality.

BlockSite Chrome Extension

BlockSite is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help you stay focused, improve productivity, and control your internet usage by blocking distracting or harmful websites. Easily create custom block lists or use the bulk adult content blocker to protect yourself and your family from inappropriate sites. Use keyword-based blocking to filter out unwanted search results and websites. Set specific times for blocks to activate, ensuring that your focus remains during work or study hours. Switch between blacklists and whitelists for flexible control over your browsing experience. Easily access the quick block feature with a right-click, and redirect blocked sites to safer alternatives to build a more positive and effective online environment.

Privacy is important; BlockSite collects some usage data anonymously and allows opting out of data collection. It’s an ideal tool for parents, students, or anyone looking to reduce procrastination and stay productive online.
