Stay focused and let Block Site automatically blocks websites of your choice. Best for procrastination problemAdd a website you want to block in the options and it is automatically blocked. When you try to go to this page it will be redirected to a special blocked website with our mascot Mr. Wips.
If you want to set another redirect page, you can do it for each website separate or set a default redirect page.
Context menu quick access
All the functionality is accessible via the context menu. So you just need to right click anywhere on the website and there you have it. You can even quickly block the website you are currently at.
Incognito mode
All the Block Site functionality can also work in the incognito mode, you just need to allow it. Follow these instructions to see how it is done: http://www.wips.com/news/detail/62/how-to-run-an-extension-in-incognito-mode
Blocked Words
Whenever the blocked word appears somewhere in the URL, it will be automatically blocked. You can use it for example to block specific search queries on search engines like Google or Bing. Be careful what you put in there. If you for example one letter to block, most of the websites will be blocked, so choose wisely.
We have also an “Adult related” list of blocked words, which will block the predefined bad words and profanity filter. We highly recommend the use of this by parents.
Active days & times
Choose the days and intervals during the day when do you want the Blocksite to be Active. For example set the Active days only to work days and add the time interval to 09:00 – 18:00 so you won’t procrastinate at work or at school.
Uninstall protection
You can protect the access to options with the password, but kids are really smart these days so we add more protection for this. The key feature is to prevent the kids to uninstall the extension. It works very simple, you just set the password, activate it in the incognito window and there you have it. You will have to input a password to access the list of chrome extension therefore the Block site is uninstallable. Take a note of your password somewhere, because if you forget it, there is no way how to recover it and you will need to go through a quite complicated process. If this happens, let us know on

Other functionality
You can switch between Blacklist and Whitelist.
Choose if you want to show the “Disable Block Site” item in the context menu.
Allow sending anonymous statistics, which we use to improve the Block Site functionality, all the stats are completely anonymous, don’t worry.
Allow notifications for new features so we can notify you for new functionality we have added.
