Question

I want to block a website fro microsoft edge. how do I do this. this system is not very friendly for users.

Answer 1

There is no specific option in Edge to do that.

You can use 3rd party browser extension or you can edit c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file and block specific website for every app on your Windows.

Open command prompt AS Administrator!

type

notepad c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

add something like

127.0.0.1 www.websiteyouwanttoblock.com

Answer 2

To block a website on Microsoft Edge, you can use the following steps:

1. Open Microsoft Edge and go to Settings and more (the three dots in the upper right corner).
2. Select Settings.
3. Navigate to Privacy, search, and services.
4. Under the Security section, look for options related to managing security settings.
5. You can also consider enabling Enhanced security on the web and manage exceptions for sites you want to block or allow.
6. If you want to block specific websites, you may need to use a browser extension designed for website blocking, as Edge does not have a built-in feature for blocking websites directly.

Using these methods, you can effectively manage your browsing experience and limit access to distracting websites.
