How to properly block a website on Chrome for Android

When we browse through the internet, there are cases where a site we visit is just too slow, or sometimes, even irrelevant. This can be triggered by pop-ups, ads, or even a misplaced tap from the search results. In such cases, in order to mitigate any damage that can be caused by the website, blocking it is the best option.

Now, if you use the Chrome browser on your Android smartphone, there is no direct way to block a certain website. However, there is a third-party app that can work hand in hand with the Chrome browser and help you accomplish this task. The app we are talking about is the Block Site app.

The Block Site app is available as a free download on the Google Play Store, and it works just like an extension for the browser by helping you block any number of sites, directly from the app, and the action is then reflected in Chrome.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to block a website on Chrome mobile.
