Marvin Moore Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Hello everyone. I want some help from all of you. I need to block some websites on my Windows 10 PC. Primarily, I use Google Chrome as my default browser and my siblings also use my PC. So, I searched for the website blocker tools online and found some names. Now, am I confused about which is better and safer? And I have no idea if these tools work properly? 😕 Does anyone have an idea about blocking a website in Chrome? Or how can I block a website in another way? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Howdy Marvin Moore & welcome to the forum, we jhope you enjoy your stay here & contribute to our community ! In my opinion you should learn to use a different browser to start with, Mozilla (fire fox) is my main browser which you can block these unwanted web sites & also the new Edge from Microsoft you can also block them ! Plus there is a blocker called AbBlock that can be used to block them also which i use ! It use to be that Google Chrome was easy to hack, so i stopped using it long ago so i'm not sure on that now since they have re-modified it ! Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete_C Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 You can set up a loop in a host file so that when the IP address is looked up , instead of using your ISP it looks there first and gives a loop back to your computer or redirects to a site you select (by entering their IP address).https://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/block-websites-using-hosts-file/ There are many host file editors to make this easyhttps://www.majorgeeks.com/files/categories/hostsfile.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marvin Moore Posted May 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Thanks for the overwhelming response. I understand that editing the host file is the best way to go to block a website for my PC. But it is not one of the easiest or convenient way to do so. I searched a bit in google and found this post which shows one particular extension which does the job effectively. Can you guys have a look and let me know if this would be the best way to go forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Howdy & welcome to the forum Marvin Moore ! That is the easy way to block web sites in Chrome, mostly everyone know that ! But mot many use chrome anymoe, they either use "Edge" of "Quantum" which have very good AdBlockers you can use !! Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
