Here are easy ways to block websites on Android:

  • Blocking app: Install BlockSite (or similar) from Google Play. Open the app, grant the required permissions, add the sites to block, and set a PIN to prevent changes. It blocks across all browsers.

  • Parental controls: Set up Google Family Link to supervise the device and apply web filters in Chrome.

  • DNS filtering: Settings > Network & Internet > Private DNS, choose a family-filtering DNS (e.g., CleanBrowsing or OpenDNS). This blocks sites at the network level for all apps.

  • For broader control, mSpy offers website blocking from its dashboard after installing on the device.
