How to Block Facebook on Chrome (Keep Groups You Need)

Facebook mixes useful things, like a group or an event, with a feed designed to keep you there. Redirect lets you block the site and keep exceptions for the few pages you rely on.

Add to Chrome, free to start

3 steps

1
Install Redirect
Add Redirect to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store. Blocking one site is free and needs no account.

Choose how pauses work

Tips for Facebook

Make it stick

Add the groups you need as exceptions, like facebook.com/groups/your-group, and keep the feed blocked.
Block facebook.com/watch and facebook.com/reel with path rules if you only want video gone.
A weekday schedule works well if you use Facebook socially in the evenings.
