Multiple web browsers may
be installed on your computer. Other software applications on your computer,
such as email clients or document viewers, may use a different browser than the
one you normally use to access the web. Also, certain file types may be
configured to open with a different web browser.To block the unwanted websites, each and every browser has different
methods.
There are many steps to follow to block the
sites/pages, but it varies for all browsers. No need to use different steps to
follow for each and every browser. We can also block the particular webpage in
any browser. Here is the way to use. Let us see ..
If you use any Windows OS, then you
can block any of the webpage from whatever browser you use.
To activate this
method, GO to start button-> All
Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt-> Click this options.
Now it shows the Dos Prompt, in that
type the following Command
notepad C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts and press Enter.
notepad C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts and press Enter.
One notepad will open in the screen.
In that screen it shows 127.0.0.1
localhost.
Below this 127.0.0.1 localhost line, Enter the webpage which you want to
block followed by 127.0.0.1.
For example do you want to block youtube then
use 127.0.0.1.www.youtube.com, then you
cant open the youtube page in your system.
You can whatever webpages you want
to block. After entering all the pages name save the notepad and close it. Now
restart the system once and use it. Now you cant access the webpages from any of
the browser installed in the system.
