How Can I Block Websites For Chrome In Android?

Block Site (Beta) for Android is a brilliant application for limiting access to specific sites. It only blocks the main domain like facebook.com, and entering custom URLs that add the directory (facebook.com/messenger) will not be successful.

However, this Google Play app lets you block applications as well. If you wish to allow access to the Facebook URL and app, but not the Facebook Messenger app, simply search by keywords and choose the application that you wish to block. Cool, right?

As soon as you enter keywords in the search bar, URLs are also seen. Therefore, searching for Facebook will reveal the Facebook URL and app. After that, search for Messenger, and the application will be shown on the list. Just choose the application and you are done. The application will be blocked.

2. Use Website Blocker (Beta) For Chrome (Add-On):
