How to block a website in
Google Chrome
To block a
website in Google Chrome, the best way is either editing the HOSTS file,
or installing firewall
software. To editing the HOSTS file, please follow the steps below:
- Open Windows Explorer, locate to the
folder "C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc". You can also
type "C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc" in the address
bar, then pressEnter key.
- Right-click
the "hosts" file, choose "Open" and open the
file in Notepad.
- At
the bottom of the document, add the numbers "127.0.0.1",
followed by at least one space, followed by the URL of the website you
want to block. For example, if you wanted to block "www.msn.com"
you would enter "127.0.0.1 www.msn.com" to do so. Note:
Do not put "http://" in front of the names of websites
you wish to block.
- Save
the file and restart your computer (If you are using Windows 7 or Windows
Vista, you may need Administrator permission to save the file).
Now, any attempt to visit the site you blocked
in Chrome (or any other browser, internet application) will connect failed.

Any changes may result in a loss of connectivity between machines on the

local network.
