How Does Site Blocker Work and What Is the Priority of Features?

1️⃣ Work Status (Highest Priority)

First, Site Blocker checks whether Work Status is enabled.

• If Work Status is disabled, the extension is completely inactive and no websites will be blocked.
• If Work Status is enabled, the extension continues to the next step.

2️⃣ Active Hours

Next, Site Blocker checks your configured Active Hours.

• If you set Active Hours (for example, Monday from 13:00 to 18:00), blocking will only work during that time period.
• Outside of those hours, blocking is automatically paused.

If no Active Hours are configured, blocking works at all times (unless overridden by Inactive Hours).

3️⃣ Inactive Hours (Temporary Pause)

Inactive Hours work as the opposite of Active Hours.

• If the current time falls within your configured Inactive Hours, blocking is temporarily disabled.
• Once the time moves outside the Inactive Hours range, blocking resumes automatically.

Inactive Hours override normal blocking during their scheduled time.

4️⃣ Rules (Higher Priority Than Lists)

Rules allow you to block specific parts of a website (for example, certain pages or URLs).

• If a rule matches the current website, the rule is applied immediately.
• Rules have higher priority than the main blocked list.

This allows you to partially block a website instead of blocking the entire domain.

5️⃣ Main Blocked List (Dashboard)

If no rule applies, Site Blocker checks the Main Blocked List in your dashboard.

• If the current website matches a domain in the blocked list, it will be blocked.
• If the website is not listed, the extension moves to the next step.

6️⃣ Block by Keywords (URL Keywords)

Finally, Site Blocker checks the “Block by Keywords” option.

• If the current URL contains any of the specified keywords, the page will be blocked.
• If none of the keywords match, the website will be allowed.
