Why people block video & streaming
- + Autoplay and "one more episode" are designed to keep you watching past when you meant to stop.
- + YouTube in particular turns a two-minute answer into an hour of recommendations.
- + A show in a background tab splits your attention even when you are not really watching.
- + Blocking streaming during work hours keeps it as a reward, not a default.

Blocking video & streaming: FAQ
How do I block YouTube but keep other sites?
Add the Video & Streaming list, then edit it to keep only the sites you want. You can remove any domain, so blocking YouTube alone takes a few seconds.
Can I block streaming sites only while I work?
Yes. Schedule the block for your work hours, for example 9am to 5pm on weekdays, and streaming stays open in the evenings and on weekends.
Can I block YouTube Shorts specifically?
Blocking youtube.com blocks the whole site. For finer control, SiteBlocker Pro adds keyword blocking that can target pages by URL, title or on-page content.
