The need to block a site so that it does not open is most often arises from parents who want to fence their children from materials intended for adults. Each of the browsers has special settings that are responsible for enabling this function.
Instructions
Step 1
Blocking sites that you do not want to open is done through the browser settings menu. For example, in Opera you need to go to additional settings, select the "Blocked content" item and in the proposed field add the site address (via https://) that you want to block. If you are using Internet Explorer, go to the Internet Options menu, then the Content tab, Enable, Allowed Sites. - Enter the address of an unwanted site and select "never".
Step 2
You can also block the site so that it does not open in the Google Chrome and Firefox browsers in the settings. At the same time, there are special add-ons that are integrated into the program and allow you to quickly and conveniently block access to any resource. For FireFox, it's Blocksite, and for Chrome, it's Personal Blocklist. Add-ons are available for installation on the official websites of the browsers.
Step 3
You can block access to unwanted sites by configuring the hosts.hosts system configuration file. It contains domain names for their subsequent translation into network addresses of nodes. Only the computer administrator has permission to edit the file. Go to My Computer and enter C: / Windows / System32 / drivers / etc. Use notepad to open the hosts file.
Step 4
Scroll down the hosts file and add a line like 127.0.0.1 https://sait.ru, adding any site you want to block so that it won't open. You can add an unlimited number of sites. Save the file and close it. Now the specified web pages will not be opened through any browser. This method is especially useful for parents, since many children are able to bypass protections such as browser settings and add-ons.
Step 5
Antivirus or firewall installed on your computer will help you quickly block any website. Currently, these programs allow not only removing malicious elements from disks, but also blocking access to suspicious and dangerous resources. Similar functions are performed by parental control utilities that have constantly updated databases of sites with adult content and block them all at once. You can download any suitable program from the official website via the Internet.
