Block Site - Stay Focused

Have you ever wondered how productive or stress-free you would be if you would possess the necessary self-control in order to stop yourself from visiting or wasting precious time on social media sites or other time-consuming platforms? If yes, then you are already aware of the addictive side effects of social media sites, and not only that. However, there are ways you can reduce the time spent on those sites, and one of those is Site Blocker — a neat Chrome extension that blocks access to whatever site you wish, allowing you to focus on more important things.

After installing the add-on, one must locate the dashboard. That can be done by clicking the extension's icon and accessing the Option Page. The dashboard opens in a new tab, as there are a lot of features to sift through.

To start adding sites, you simply have to write them down and then click on Save Changes. Even though a new entry will be created after just adding a site, clicking the Save changes is mandatory, otherwise, the site won't be blocked.

If you are doing this blocking thing just to be able to get your work done, you can set the extension up to allow access after a certain hour. To do that, Go to White time config and set the time ranges. These ranges will affect the entire list of blocked sites.

If you are not the only one using the computer, you can set up a password that would block anyone from adding or removing sites from the blocked list. This might be a handy feature in case you have children that might want to look up harmful content.

A blocked site will always display a blank page. In some situations, the site's icon will be placed in the middle of the page. To unblock a site, go back to the dashboard, remove its entry from the list and save the changes.

To conclude, Site Blocker is a great way to increase your productivity or to avoid the toxic environment of social media by cutting access to certain websites. The add-on is intuitive and straightforward, so getting around how it works is only a matter of minutes.
