BlockSite

BlockSite is an extension, which automatically blocks websites of your choice. Additionally, this extension will disable all hyperlinks to these websites, by just displaying the link text without the clicking functionality.
What is BlockSite?
"BlockSite" is a revolutionary Firefox add-on, purposefully engineered to block unnecessary websites and enables a more productive internet experience. This tool provides customizable features such as creating block lists, adult content filtering, keyword-based blocking, and specific time intervals for site blocking. Additionally, users can switch between blacklists and whitelists, and anonymously share stats to help improve the internet. It aims to ensure the internet's safe use, particularly for young users, by maintaining an updated database of adult content sites. All data collected is handled with utmost respect for user privacy.
