🟪 How to Block a Website on Google Chrome?

1️⃣ Edit the Hosts File

A hosts file is a text file in your operating system that stores domain names and their IP addresses. Block websites by redirecting the domain name to your computer. Make sure to create a backup of your hosts file before making any changes.

2️⃣ Use a Chrome Extension

Use a browser extension, such as BlockSite, to block a website. Another feature that this browser extension offers is adding a password to the website instead of blocking it. This extension is also helpful for blocking specific words or categories.

3️⃣ Use Built-In Parental Controls

Many devices include built-in parental controls that can be used to block websites. This video shows how to block a website on Google Chrome using Windows.
