Website Blocker Chrome Extension

Website Blocker Browser Extension

Built for Real Focus Habits

The Website Blocker turns the browser into a focus tool by quietly redirecting distracting sites. Furthermore, scheduling, whitelist mode, keyword rules, and one-click “block this tab” make it adapt to real working patterns. Therefore, deep work returns — without uninstalling apps or hiding the toolbar.

Built for Real Focus Habits

01

Block by Domain or Keyword

Add specific domains or block any URL containing a chosen keyword. Furthermore, the current tab can be blocked with a single button — therefore, the friction between noticing a distraction and removing it is reduced to a tiny moment of clarity.

02

Scheduling & Whitelist Mode

Define active days and time ranges, or flip into whitelist mode where only chosen sites stay reachable. Moreover, the master toggle pauses everything when needed — consequently, the rules adapt to focus blocks instead of being either always on or always off.

03

Calm Blocked Page

Visiting a blocked site reveals a clean redirect page with a quiet motivational note. As a result, the urge to bargain with yourself fades away — and a small daily blocked counter keeps the habit honest without being harsh.

Your Day, Without It vs With It

Without

Drift, doom-scroll, regret

  • Opening the same distracting site reflexively all morning.
  • Relying on willpower to avoid the obvious time-sinks.
  • Realising hours have passed before the real task started.
With Website Blocker

Quiet redirects, deep focus

  • Distracting sites silently redirect to a calm focus page.
  • Schedules turn blocking on for working hours automatically.
  • Whitelist mode locks the browser to only what you need.

Moments It Saves Your Day

Student · Exam Week

Locking the browser into study mode

You enable whitelist mode with only the lecture portal and notes app available. Furthermore, the schedule activates each evening — therefore, the same pattern repeats automatically without any willpower expense throughout the entire study week.

Freelancer · Deep Work

Defending a focused billable block

You schedule blocking from morning until lunch and add the worst-offending domains. Moreover, “block this tab” handles surprise distractions — consequently, billable focus stays uninterrupted and the day ends with real progress in the right files.

Anyone · Healthy Habit

Reducing reflexive social-media checking

You add the few sites that vanish chunks of the day and let the redirect handle them. In addition, the daily blocked counter provides quiet feedback — therefore, the habit gradually fades without dramatic willpower confrontations on a daily basis.

Frequently Asked Questions

The extension uses the modern declarative network rules API. Furthermore, matching requests are quietly redirected to a clean blocked page. Therefore, performance stays excellent and your browsing data is not monitored. Consequently, the blocking layer feels invisible until it is genuinely needed — exactly the experience a focus tool should aspire to deliver.
Blocklist mode blocks only the sites you list. Whitelist mode goes the other way and blocks everything except the sites you list. Moreover, switching between the two takes a single toggle. Consequently, you can stay loose during normal browsing and lock the browser down strictly for exam revision or genuine deep work sessions.
Yes. Choose specific days of the week and define start and end times for each. Therefore, the rules activate automatically for working hours and quietly switch off in the evening. Furthermore, you can pause everything with the master toggle when a particular day genuinely demands an exception to the routine.
Yes. Enter a keyword and any URL containing that fragment is redirected to the blocked page. Moreover, this is useful for sweeping families of similar distractions in one rule. Consequently, you avoid maintaining a long list of nearly identical domains, and new variants from the same source are blocked automatically the moment they appear.
No. Rules and counters live in local storage. Furthermore, the extension does not log URLs or send analytics to any server. Consequently, you can run blocking on devices with sensitive accounts open in other tabs without any concern about browsing patterns or account data leaving your device for outside parties.
Yes. The popup includes manual export and import. Therefore, your blocklist, whitelist, and schedule can be backed up or transferred to another browser quickly. Moreover, the format stays compact and human-readable, so reviewing or editing rules outside the extension is straightforward whenever required by personal or organisational backup routines.
Right-click the toolbar icon and choose Remove, or open the browser extensions page and remove it from there. Furthermore, locally stored rules and counters are cleared with it. Therefore, no leftover files remain. Consequently, reinstalling later starts from a clean state, exactly as if it were a fresh first install.
