What is Block Site?

It allows you to block unwanted domains, use wildcard or regex matching, utilize reverse mode to limit access only to selected sites, and redirect blocked hostnames to new destinations. Furthermore, it protects against data leakage by preventing certain hostnames from capturing your network activity. Additional features include timed blocking, custom messages on blocked pages, aut0-closure of blocked tabs, killing pop-ups, and configurable pause and resume options.

Features:
- Block unwanted domains.
- Prevent access to a range of websites using wildcard matching or regular expression matching.
- Reverse mode allows access to only some hostnames and blocks access to all others.

- Display a custom message on blocked pages.
- Time and date based blocking. Only block access to the websites at specified times and dates. This feature can be configured per hostname.

I have tried several website blockers (specifically to limit my YouTube habits), and I've never found one like this. For free, you can very easily set time intervals, protect with a password, etc.
Great extension!
