Ask HN: Is there an OS wide website blocker that is safe to use?
My productivity in WFH environment has suffered a bit with Hacker news, reddit, Elon Musk etc. I have been trying to find a site blocker, but most are browser based and little sketchy.
I am tired of looking for a privacy conscious, OS wide (Mac) website blocker. I would pay for such a tool any day.

- dhaavi 6y agoWhile I'd love to recommend you the Portmaster, it unfortunately is not yet available for MacOS. https://safing.io/portmaster/ https://safing.io/portmaster/ But you actually have already paid for something like that, it just isn't Open Source: MacOS itself. You can use parental controls to block domains system wide, afaik.
