Comparisons
Every blocker makes a different trade-off between strength, platforms and price. These pages put the tools side by side and state the limits of each one, Browwwser included.
Start with the roundup for an overview of the options, then open the page of the tool you already use or are considering.
What to check in any blocker
How easy it is to switch off

Sites only, or apps too
A blocked site is still one click away if its desktop app is not blocked.
Platform and price
Check which systems it runs on, and whether it is free, a subscription or a one-time purchase.
