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:

Bloqueia a maioria dos sites, mas depois de um certo "limite", não há mais bloqueios. Testei com deviantart e wattpad e nada.

Så gerne, at dette var en integreret funktion i Firefox, men må sige, at denne udvidelse hjalp enormt. Er særligt glad for at jeg kunne tilføje erstatnings-URL - og nu vidersendes jeg til den hjemmeside - jeg forsøgte at søge på i DDG.
