How to block or restrict access to one or more web pages in Google Chrome

Currently Google Chrome is one of the best browsers by preference when using the Internet, either from a computer or mobile phone. One of the questions that most arise when browsing is how to block access to one or more web pages for different reasons.

The content of the information that we find on the internet is so wide, varied, and easily accessible for its good and bad things; that most of the time we want to block a web page is more than anything for security reasons.

How to block a page from your computer

It happens that there are not many possibilities to restrict said access, from Google Chrome. An option that we can use and that is very effective is the following:

  1. From your computer, we go to Google Chrome.
  2. Once there, we will enter the Settings menu
  3. Click the drop-down menu at the top right Settings > Advanced Settings > Privacy and security > Content settings > Block images and JavaScript
  4. Also, you can manage the exceptions. This option is located under Images and JavaScript. You will have a new window in which you can place a link to a specific page that you want to block.
  5. In this way, what we are going to achieve is that our browser does not load a web page, through the JavaScript restriction, nor that images are downloaded.

Another option that you can use is to block a specific web page, so that, from your browser, you cannot enter more. This option is one of the most sought after when, for example, you want to carry out parental control, preventing the youngest members of the household from only accessing sites appropriate to their age, or simply protecting your computer from being filled with possible viruses or possible spam.

Another way, perhaps the most effective, is to do it by downloading an application to block access to a website. Block Site is a very easy program to run. It will allow you to block entire websites or those that have a keyword.

Something else that this application allows you to do is block a website on specific days and times. This is ideal for parents who want more control over their children’s internet access.

How to block access to the website from your Android or IPhone mobile

If instead, we want to do this from a mobile phone application, we must know that it will depend on the operating system it has, that is, if it is Android or iPhone.

For the Apple operating system, there is an option within the Settings that will allow you to block access to a website, only while using its own Safari browser.

In case you don’t use Safari and your preferred browser is Chrome. Then we go to More, this option can be found in the upper right. Once there, we go to Content Settings > Permissions.

One detail to keep in mind is that not all permissions can be modified. Among what we can do are:

  • Pop-ups are blocked by default.
  • Google translator.
  • Google App Settings

For the Android operating system, what you have to do is open the Chrome application, search for the site that we want to block or write its URL, in case we know it.

Once on that site, what you should do is look at the top right, press More> Information> Site settings> Permissions. Once there, you will remove the permissions to navigate within that site.

Among other applications, you can use is File Explorer, Safe Browser, Kaspersky Parental Control, Trend Micro, FamiSafe, among others. All of them are very easy to use, and extremely effective. You can find them in the Apple Store and or Play Store.

As you may have noticed, it is very simple and quick to block or restrict access to some Chrome websites, either from the browser or with the help of some apps.
