Domain Blocker is written to be as efficient as possible, in terms of speed (CPU) and memory (RAM).
The main idea is that there’s little meaning to use predefined blocklist consisting of tens of thousands rules when you’ll ever use only small percentage of it. In Domain Blocker you build the blocklist as you go along.
🚀 Hide ads

🚀 Avoid tracking
⭐️ by blocking tracking domains you prevent the services to acquire information about your browsing behaviour
🚀 Load pages faster
⭐️ by blocking unnecessary domains (requests) you save traffic and make pages loading faster!
🚀 Fight procrastination
⭐️ just keep facebook.com out of the Whitelist and… do more!
🚀 Permissions explained
⭐️ “Read and change all your data on the websites you visit”: to be able to intercept HTTP request before they leave your browser
Completely free and with no ads

Simple. Copied a list of sites I want blocked, pasted it into the extension, and those sites are blocked.
No limits on number of sites blocked, like BlockSite has (they limit you to just 6 in the free version!)
Thanks Peta Sittek!
I use this extension to block G Analytics (Big Brother), and it works!
The simple machine and UI are great.
However, it is very annoying that the tabs of blocked URLs are still open. I would like it to close it automatically!!!!
As a fellow software engineer with 36yrs, most of which developing commercial applications, I have to say VERY NICELY DONE Sir – and THANK YOU for sharing your work and your talent with the world (for FREE). I VERY rarely give feedback, as I very rarely have much nice to say about most software out these days. And I was hesitant to use this extension, and have only 1 other that I use (uBlock Origin). But I am VERY happy I tried it out – it works EXACTLY as claimed, and PERFECTLY thus far which I expect will continue to do so. The UI is minimal, as it should be. Not overly complex, makes sense, easy to use. I could not ask for more. Andd I also very rarely recommend apps to friends and colleagues, but I have been recommending your app. So again – WELL DONE, very nice app, and THANK YOU again. Best Regards (from an old curmudgeon of a programmer!)
Thank you for making this extension, I was able to use wildcards to block a ton of facebook related sub domains in Chrome!
Thank you!
Perfect!!
some domain like clean apple.com-clean-mac.site are very annoying.
its good to block all of them
Don’t waste your time on this one. Not working at all, instead of a proper red X you get blue asterix with obscure messages and it’s not blocking the domain at all. Click to block also has no functionality, the domain stays checked in green… pointless extensions like so many others.
Perfect stuff, expecting login based storage so that whenever you migrate system you need not to type again.
The best domain blocker extension I’ve ever used. The interface is very friendly. Thank you for this.
I am on my yahoo mail and there still is an ad on the top of my mailing list. Same thing with quora. The idea of domain blocker sounds good, but I am not sure it blocks everything (or I might not know how to make it work better)
This extension doesn’t let you exclude specific subdomain from the block list if you blocked all subdomains with wildcard.
Let’s say you’ve blocked *.domain.com, now you want special.domain.com to be allowed – you can’t do that.
Also it has no export option to backup everything, you have to do it manually.
And finally you cannot use specific path to block request. I see it’s called ‘domain blocker’ but nevertheless it’s a highly desirable feature.
The only good thing about this extenstion is that it shows not every but most of the loaded domains on the page so you don’t have to search them manually in devtools.
Works like a charm!!.. I recommend this extension to anyone to replace adblock and similar, take your time to look into all the domains you wish to block and you’re done!!.. and whenever you see a content you don’t like, just copy the address link where it comes from and add it to the block list, it’s easy!!.. thank you so much, Peta, great job!!
Bardzo przydatne! Blokuje całe strony, nie tylko wybrane reklamy, co jest szczególnie istotne przy irytujących stronach wczytywanych wraz ze stroną którą oglądamy. Zablokowałem namolne ankiety gemiusa!
It’s working well!
The wildcard feature is not delegation sensitive. For example, if you add
*.link
with the intention of blocking the top level domain, link, you will block not only the LINK TLD but pages that contain the keyword link, e.g.,
http://www.linkdin.com
It blocks the ads by domain.
Very good 🙂 Easier to block full domain than on other extensions. Thank you! 🙂
Best blocker extension on the store. Super useful, powerful, and easy to use. Frequent updates and lately tons of optimization.
Works great and it is easy to use. Supports regexp which is great.
Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Love the possibility to use wildcards. Replaced my adblocker and solved some problems with certain sites.
Thanks for this useful tool.
nice extension to block TLDs
It’s amazing, wildcard support makes it even more powerful.
*.review
*ad*
*.xyz
*redir*
Are just a few domain keywords I had a bunch of problems with and were solved thanks to this extension.
