Overview

This extension blocks unwanted sites.

This extension allows you to block websites specified via regular expressions. For example, to block YouTube: 1. Open options by clicking on the extension’s icon. 2. Click the add button. 3. Write `youtube.com` in the newly added text field. 4. Enable the rule by marking the checkbox on the left of your rule. The extension will now block every URL that has `youtube.com` and redirect the window to a Wikipedia page on Akrasia. The extension is basic and I built it to be extremely simple so that I could allowlist it on my employer’s machines to block distracting internal sites. I couldn’t use other external extensions (e.g., Freedom, BlockSite) for that purpose.

This extension does what it says on the tin. Runs entirely in-browser (no HTTP requests), and is only about ~100 lines of code, find on GitHub under gregorias/grzegorzssiteblocker. The UI is a little rough, just beware that the box needs to be checked for the site to be blocked, and if any URL patterns are invalid then no sites will be blocked.
