BlockSite for Firefox is a handy addon that can be used to restrict access to certain webpages and hyperlinks that link to them based on criteria of your choice. There are multiple practical uses that come to mind when talking about such an extension: it can be used to create a distraction-free working environment, as an extra security layer to prevent malware infection or as a parental control tool.
The extension is easily installed in Firefox and, in no time at all, you should be able to notice the new icon in the browser’s toolbar. Clicking on it for the first time opens a popup window that asks you for permission to access information on the sites you visit, letting you know that these details will not be used for targeted marketing purposes. Your permission is mandatory if you want BlockSite to be able to detect and block websites automatically, which is actually a noticeable feature.
Whenever you visit a page, clicking on the toolbar icon reveals BlockSite’s window, where you can easily add that particular URL to the blacklist. You can edit the list of restricted pages manually.
Switching between a whitelist or a blacklist is easily done and, furthermore, BlockSite enables you to schedule website blocking on specific days and time intervals.
BlockSite for Firefox comes with a module called Work Mode. When enabled, Work Mode blocks all the webpages on the blacklist. You can use it to restrict yourself from using social media sites, for instance, and thus make sure the Internet browsing is as productive as possible. For the same reason, it is also possible to block searches run in Google or Bing that contain specific words.
As mentioned above, BlockSite can also be used in parental control to keep children safe during their time at the computer. Activating the “Adult related” keyword block should be enough for most parents. A password can be set to prevent children from changing the settings of BlockSite in the browser.
BlockSite for Firefox is a handy extension to have around, especially if you are true to yourself and recognize that procrastination is one of your minuses. It is easy to use and configure and it helps you stay focused and safe.
