Block News Websites is a free Chrome extension developed by Aditya. As the name suggests, this extension aims to help users stay focused on their tasks by blocking access to distracting news websites. With over 5000 news websites blocked, including popular ones like BBC, NYTimes, Washington Post, CNN, NBC, and Fox News, this extension effectively eliminates the temptation to browse news articles during work or study sessions.

The functionality of Block News Websites is simple yet effective. Whenever a user attempts to open a tab containing a blocked news website, the extension automatically closes the tab, preventing the user from accessing the content. This ensures that users can maintain their productivity and avoid unnecessary distractions.

If there are any additional news websites that you believe should be blocked, you can request their inclusion by writing on the support tab. Block News Websites encourages users to support the development of free software like this by visiting their Buy Me a Coffee page.

With its straightforward approach and extensive list of blocked news websites, Block News Websites is a valuable tool for individuals looking to enhance their productivity and focus.
