Kosher Browser

Real blocking.
No excuses.

A local Chrome extension that blocks distracting or inappropriate sites — with schedules, a focus timer, password lock, strict mode, and SafeSearch enforcement. Everything stays on your machine. No account, no server, no tracking.

Real blocking

Browser-level blocking via declarativeNetRequest. The block page loads before the site can render — no flash, no leak.

Schedules + focus timer

Set quiet hours by weekday or kick off a long focus session with a countdown. Focus survives a browser restart.

🔒

Password lock + strict mode

A password wraps the settings. In strict mode, the extension cannot be turned off — only uninstalled and reinstalled, which forces a deliberate decision.

🔍

SafeSearch enforcement

Google, Bing, YouTube, DuckDuckGo — Safe Search is forced at the URL level, independent of account settings.

Built for real use, not for show

Categories, schedule, allow/block lists, password, strict mode — one tidy options page, full RTL for Hebrew, clean LTR for English.

Browse in peace

When you try to visit a blocked site, a quiet page explains why and offers a way back. No nagging, no shame.
