Are you someone who shares their computer with others? You must restrict access to sites on Chrome and Firefox to ensure that nobody is able to view these websites. A great way to prevent others from checking out certain websites on a browser is by using Block Site. It is the ultimate blocking software that will make your life a lot less stressful. This guide to Block Site aims to provide you with all the information you need to make the most of the extension.

What Is Block Site And How Can You Use It?

Block Site is the ultimate extension that is designed to restrict access. You can rely on it if you tend to share your computer or laptop with someone else. All you have to do is install it to put it to use. It will require you to create a master password to prevent others from modifying the settings and accessing the websites that you do not want them to visit.

If someone tries to enter the address of the site that you have blocked, they would come across the restricted access banner claiming that the site has been blocked. It would require users to enter the master password to access the site. You can even tweak the settings to redirect websites or have a custom message pop up. As the computer or laptop would be unable to load certain URLs, you do not need to worry about data being sent to the remote server. You have the option to add rules for more protection or personalization.

Block Domains

In order to block domains, you will have to use the Block a hostname feature. It requires you to enter the URL of the website which you want blocked. Then, you must select add to ensure that it has been added. However, you must keep in mind that the feature would not block sites if a sub-domain or HTTPS version has been accessed. However, it does allow you to block sites that contain a matching hostname. Thus, you can prevent others from viewing those sites altogether.

Moreover, you can use the side toolbar to enable and disable blocking. If you already have a list of domains that you want to block, you can simply import the file and have all the domains added in no time. This would ensure that you do not have to put in a lot of effort to block websites. You will have to click the Save button for adding websites. In order to unblock a site, you will have to enter the master password. For unblocking, you can either visit the domain or go through the options. The extension would clock the tabs that you have blocked automatically. You even get to export/import settings for quick results.
