Comment on How do you block addictive websites in a way that can't be easily undone?

Comments

NextDNS can be set up to block stuff, and then you can use it at the router level and on the machine level so even on mobile internet, sites will be blocked.

Parental controls generally and there is a range of accountability software too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accountability_software

Thank you for the suggestions.

Regarding NextDNS, can it be setup in a way that is difficult to disable? Or could I just disable the user application on my phone and use my unfiltered mobile internet? Same for accountability softwares, are there any that go below the user application level to stop me from simply disabling them?

Google parental controls seem cumbersome, as apparently I can only block domains in Chrome and will thus also need to block other browsers. But I will play around with it and see if I can make it work for me.
