Block The News - for Safari
Block 500+ news websites
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
BlockTheNews is a Safari extension that interrupts the reflex to open distracting news sites—before they load—so you can decide intentionally.
START WITH A CALMER DEFAULT
• Blocks hundreds of news sites from the built-in list
• Add any site you want to pause
• Allow sites you still want to visit
• Continue temporarily when you choose
BUILT FOR SAFARI
Set it up once, then manage your block list and allow list from Safari’s extension controls.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your lists and browsing decisions stay on your device. BlockTheNews does not collect or sell your browsing history.
BLOCKTHENEWS PRO
Choose a monthly or yearly subscription and restore purchases from the app. Eligible early paid-app customers keep lifetime access.
BlockTheNews gives you a moment between impulse and action—without slowing down the rest of your browser.
