There are several effective ways to block websites on Chrome, with the easiest being to use a browser extension like BlockSite. Here's a concise guide:
- Install the BlockSite extension from the Chrome Web Store.
- After installation, click on the BlockSite icon at the top right of Chrome.
- Select "Block this site" while visiting the website you want to block or add the site URL manually in the BlockSite dashboard.
- The blocked site will be inaccessible until removed from the block list.
- Additional features include scheduling blocks, blocking by keywords, and enabling block in incognito mode.
Alternatively, for managing websites across multiple devices in an organization, admins can use Chrome's URL Blocking feature through Google Admin Console to add URLs to a blocklist. Parental controls are another option, either through Windows settings or Google Family Link for mobile devices to block websites on Chrome. Each method suits different needs, but using BlockSite is the simplest and most user-friendly for individual users.
