J'utilise des fois l'appli Self-Control pour bloquer mes sites de distractions, mais ça opère au niveau du système d'exploitation... Donc si tu bloques Facebook, tu bloques aussi Messenger et Instagram et WhatsApp. Avec BlockSite, je peux bloquer Facebook sur le Web sans me bloquer des messageries associé. Très simple, n'a pas besoin d'être compliqué.
