SiteBlocker is a Browser extension that helps you block distracting websites, stay focused, and improve productivity by controlling your browsing habits.

Simply add the website URL to your blocklist in the list. Once added, the site will be inaccessible until you remove it from the list or disable the list.

Yes! SiteBlocker allows you to set specific time periods when certain lists are blocked, helping you stay productive during work or study hours.

Question 5

‘Is SiteBlocker free to use?’

Accepted Answer

‘Yes, SiteBlocker is free. All core features — custom blocklists, scheduling, Focus Mode, whitelist mode, and cross-device sync — are available at no cost. The optional Insights Pro plan ($2.99/month) adds detailed analytics charts, hourly heatmaps, and focus session tracking.’

Question 6

‘Does SiteBlocker work in incognito mode?’

Accepted Answer

‘Yes, but you need to enable it manually. Go to your browser Extensions page, find SiteBlocker, and check the "Allow in Incognito" option (Chrome) or "Run in Private Windows" (Firefox).’

Question 7

How is SiteBlocker different from BlockSite or Freedom?

Accepted Answer

SiteBlocker includes all core features for free — custom blocklists, scheduled blocking, Focus Mode with Pomodoro, whitelist mode, and cross-device sync. BlockSite limits free users to 3 blocked sites and charges $39.99 for full access. Freedom costs $8.99/month. SiteBlocker also collects zero browsing data, unlike both competitors.

Question 8

What is Focus Mode?

Accepted Answer

Focus Mode lets you start on-demand distraction-blocking sessions. Pick a duration (25 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, or custom), choose which blocklists to enforce, and optionally enable Pomodoro breaks. During a focus session, your selected sites are blocked regardless of your schedule settings.

Question 9

What is the Pro plan?

Accepted Answer

The Pro plan ($2.99/month, $24.99/year, or $49.99 lifetime) adds keyword blocking (block pages containing specific words in URLs, titles, or page content) and a full analytics dashboard — weekly activity charts, top blocked sites, hourly distraction heatmaps, focus session tracking, and cross-device insights sync. Basic stats (total blocks, streak, top 3 sites) are free for everyone.

Question 10

What is keyword blocking?

Accepted Answer

Keyword blocking (Pro feature) lets you block any page that contains specific words — in the URL, page title, or page content. For example, add "gambling" as a keyword and any page with that word gets blocked automatically, even if the domain is not on your blocklist. URL and title keywords are checked instantly; page content is scanned after the page loads.

Question 11

Which browsers does SiteBlocker support?

Accepted Answer

SiteBlocker is available on Chrome and Firefox. Your blocklists and settings sync across browsers when you sign in.

Question 12

How do I uninstall SiteBlocker?

Accepted Answer
