Can I use this to block a site completely

Post by Timbo »

I'm trying to block entire websites - can I use this app to achieve this?
Custom filter does not seen to work (or I'm doing it wrong)
Have tried
http://www.example.com
http://www.example.com*
http://www.example.com/*

Appreciate your thoughts
TIA

you can block the content (images, scripts, other external sources)

Code: Select all

||example.com
but you still can type the address in the url bar and land into the site (even with all content blocked by the filter)

you need something else like

or add the site to the hosts file
