How to Block Netflix on Chrome During Work Hours

Netflix is not a problem at 9 pm. It is a problem at 2 pm when one episode becomes three. Redirect can block Netflix only during the hours you set, so it is there when you want it and gone when you need to work.

3 steps

Block Netflix in under a minute

  1. 1

    Install Redirect

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

  2. 2

    Add a rule

    Open the dashboard, choose whole site and enternetflix.com

  3. 3

    Choose how pauses work

    Pick pause lengths and a task to finish first. Wait it out. A 60 second wait is often enough to decide the episode can wait until tonight.

Tips for Netflix

Make it stick

  • Turn on a schedule for weekdays, for example 09:00 to 18:00, and leave evenings free.
  • Keep pauses long enough for one episode, like 45 minutes, with a daily limit of one.
  • Add rules for other streaming sites too, so the habit does not simply move.
