How to Block “Facebook” on all your browsers

 


Sometimes, Facebook is wasting a lot of our working, studying or life time;

I will talk today about how to block “Facebook” on all your browsers;

Sometimes, The Normal block method used from the “Internet Options” isn’t working on some sites like Facebook.

Today, I’ll teach you how to block the Facebook Site from the Host File;

1-Open the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder

2-Right Click on the hosts file and Open it with Notepad or any text editor

3-Search for this line in the file:  #    127.0.0.1       localhost

4-Add these 2 lines after it:

127.0.0.1 facebook.com
127.0.0.1
www.facebook.com

(See the Figure)


5-Save the file.

  • Sometimes you can’t overwrite the host file when saving, follow these steps:
  1. Save the host file after editing it on any location you know on you PC
  2. From Windows Explorer Open Tools –> Folder Options –> View then Uncheck the “Hide extensions for known file types”.
  3. remove any additional extensions added to the file that you have created e.g. hosts.txt –> hosts remove the .txt by renaming the file.
  4. copy your host file from the location you know and replace the file in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder.
  5. Say ByeBye Facebook

Share it if you believe that it’s important.
