How to block the whole site?

Post by mahone08 »

In my "Add my own filter", I have "yahoo.com/*" for example. When I am visiting yahoo.com it still shows me text although images are removed. Is there a way to block the whole site?

No, ABP can not block the whole site, it can block all the external content and html / css elements. But you still are able to see the site.
You could use the hosts file to block a site.
