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

Site Blocker follows a clear priority system to decide whether a website should be blocked or allowed. Below is a step-by-step explanation of how it works.

1

Work Status

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.
2

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.
3

Inactive Hours

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.
4

Rules

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.
5

Main Blocked List

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.
6

Block by 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.
