The answer to the question in the headline is “Apple doesn’t allow that.” Safari and iOS absolutely do not allow you to block a specific website. They only allow you to block adult websites AND a specific website of your choice. But what if an adult needs a restriction from certain websites, but doesn’t want adult websites because they have a gambling addiction (not my issue), compulsivity post on social media (not my issue, except for an occasional problem with Twitter), read news websites compulsively to the exusion of working (my problem)? Unlike other browsers, Safari doesn’t allow it and – because Apple doesn’t let Chrome handle content blocking, Chrome on iOS doesn’t allow it either.

Yes, as an adult who knows his own passwords, I can bypass any restrictions I set, but that little barrier almost always is enough to stop me. So, instead I have to leave my phone on another room to get work done, which presents other issues.

But as soon as i type in the url, it shows this website is blocked but unfortunately right underneath it shows an option to allow that website access. So that defeats the purpose if it is so easy to unlock the website.
