How to Block Websites on Chrome

There may be numerous reasons to block websites on Chrome. Certain websites might distract you from your work, while others may be unsuitable for children. Google Chrome blocks thousands of sites that contain viruses, but it does not filter websites based on their content or provide warnings for excessive time spent on social networks. This article provides a detailed guide on how to block websites on Chrome.

Using a Website Blocker to Block Websites

Website blocking tools can help you block any site or app you want. You can add unlimited sites and apps to blocklists, schedule them, block websites based on categories or keywords, and allow only trusted sites while tracking activities. HT Parental Controls and HT Work Focus are all-in-one blockers with a multitude of features.

  1. Download and install the blocker on your computer(s) or laptop(s).
         Download HT Parental Controls for Home Use
         Download HT Work Focus for Business Use
  2. Navigate to Rules → Website Limits.
  3. Add the URLs of sites or keywords you wish to block or limit.
  4. Select «Block» or «Limit» for any of the ten website categories, each containing hundreds of sites.
  5. Set up time restrictions and schedule for the limited URLs, keywords and categories .
For instance, selecting the 'Chat Site' category will block Omegle and hundreds of other chat sites with one click.
If you need to stay focused and do not wish to completely block a site or app, select «Limit.» You can set a schedule or limit the time you or your users spend on specific computer activities. For instance, you could limit your child to twenty minutes a day on YouTube.
