Block Websites on Google Chrome – Learn How to
Google Chrome recently added a new safe search filter to block websites, which may have malicious links. We have noticed that, some websites create continuously annoying pop-up ads. Some websites have adult contents, and we want to hide them from your children. So, in these cases we want to block websites on Google Chrome. Certainly same question might have arisen in your mind – “How do I block a website on Google Chrome?”. However, there is no such native built-in option on Google Chrome to block websites. But, free third-party Chrome store app may do the work for you. Actually, there are different ways to block internet access from a specific Windows program. But, for blocking websites using a web browser, you need a little bit different technique. We occasionally use Windows Hosts file to block a website. But, manual edit is not always possible because it is a tricky task. It is better to use either Windows Parental Control or use Chrome Extensions to block any particular website.Windows parental control can block a website entirely, and we can’t access the website from the whole PC. But, if we block websites with Google Chrome extensions, then the blocked websites can be accessed using another browser like IE or Firefox. But, if we have no other browser (than Google Chrome) on our PC, then extensions method is quite helpful. Some third-party applications like Ht-Employee Monitor can do the same thing for us.
