Summary

Analyze keywords

This extension allows you to block websites specified via regular expressions.

For example, to block YouTube:

Open options by clicking on the extension’s icon.
Click the add button.
Write youtube.com in the newly added text field.
Enable the rule by marking the checkbox on the left of your rule.

The extension will now block every URL that has youtube.com and redirect the window to a Wikipedia page on Akrasia.

The extension is basic and I built it to be extremely simple so that I could allowlist it on my employer’s machines to block distracting internal sites. I couldn’t use other external extensions (e.g., Freedom, BlockSite) for that purpose.

User reviews

This extension does what it says on the tin. Runs entirely in-browser (no HTTP requests), and is only about ~100 lines of code, find on GitHub under gregorias/grzegorzssiteblocker. The UI is a little rough, just beware that the box needs to be checked for the site to be blocked, and if any URL patterns are invalid then no sites will be blocked.
