Want to boost your productivity and eliminate distractions? Learn how to create a custom Website Blocker Chrome Extension entirely with the help of AI in just a few minutes.
This beginner-friendly project shows you how to use powerful AI tools (like Grok, Claude, or ChatGPT) to generate, refine, and debug the complete code for a fully functional website blocker. Block distracting sites like YouTube, Instagram, Twitter/X, or any custom list during work hours.
In this step-by-step tutorial, you’ll discover how to:
- Plan the extension features with AI (blocklist, timer, custom messages, statistics)
- Generate the complete manifest.json, background scripts, popup UI, and content scripts using AI prompts
- Implement website blocking logic and exception rules
- Design a clean popup interface for adding/removing sites
