BlockSite alternative: Stillwood vs BlockSite compared
Updated 14 October 2026
The short answer
If you want a free blocker with no limit on sites, Stillwood is an alternative to BlockSite. BlockSite’s free plan blocks up to three sites, and it adds phone apps, daily usage limits and password protection. Stillwood is free with no site limit, keeps everything on your computer and asks why you’re opening a site before it loads.
The short version
BlockSite is a well-known blocker with a Chrome extension and phone apps. Its free plan lets you block up to three sites, keywords or categories, and more than that needs a subscription. Stillwood is a Chrome extension that is free with no site limit. Before a site on your list loads, it pauses and asks what’s pulling you there.

BlockSite fits better if
- You want the same block list on your phone and your computer.
- You want a daily time quota per site, or a password that keeps you out of the settings.
Stillwood fits better if
- You want to block more than three sites without paying.
- You’d like nothing about your browsing to leave your computer. Stillwood has no account and no server, and your sites, reasons and rings stay in your browser.
- You sometimes need a blocked site for work. Say so on the pause screen and it opens for 10 minutes. On YouTube that means search only, with the home feed, Shorts and recommendations hidden.
- You want to see why you keep reaching for a site. The “What pulled you” list shows your most common reasons over time.
Switching from BlockSite
- Write down the sites on your BlockSite list.
- Remove BlockSite in
chrome://extensions, so two blockers don’t act on the same page. - Install Stillwood, pick your sites on the first screen or type them in, and choose a schedule. It takes about a minute.
