how to block a site in Chrome?

[molsen]

There's a very specific web site I want to block. I say in Chrome because that's the only browser I use, but I don't care if it's system-wide.

LOL, it's someone's Facebook profile. She's my ex and, as immature as it sounds, sometimes I have trouble gathering up the willpower to not check up on her. So I need to block her specific profile, like "www.facebook.com/batsh*tcrazywoman". I need to not be able to manually visit the address.

Any ideas?

You can block a site by modifying the C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file; however, it won't just block one single page, it'll block the entire domain.
basically, it's used to override DNS lookups in resolving IP addresses.
If you put 127.0.0.1 as the IP for a domain (i.e. yourself), it's not going to find what it's looking for.
eg adding 127.0.0.1 Welcome to Facebook | Facebook will block facebook

For blocking a specific page or subdomain, I tend to use Firefox + Adblock Plus. I don't know if any equivalents for Chrome have been developed.

Mmm ok thanks. I don't want to block all of FB. Maybe there are some 3rd party programs that will do this?

Maybe your Router can block just that specific URL? Cause there is no software that i know of that can. Maybe a Firewall? But most of those are like the host files. They block the whole domain.

Anyone else know if there's any software that can do this? XP and Vista

Block her on facebook? Then you can't access her page.

hmm I didn't realize that. But then does that mean she can't see my facebook page? I think it might be perceived as immature if I block her... I don't hate her and she doesn't hate me, I just hurt right now and need to give myself some time away.

I guess I'll use this as a good opportunity to work on self-control!!
