Question is in the title. I don’t want to block an entire website, just a specific page. Only extension I’ve got right now is Adblock but I’d be willing to get another one I guess. Again, don’t want to block the entire site, just a specific page(s). Thanks in advance. ---

You could add the webpage entry to the host file ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts\_(file)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file))) by mapping it to 127.0.0.1 ---

I’m kind of in a fucked up state right now so if that’s the most viable option could you or someone else give me instructions walking me through how to do that? ---

Perhaps I’m missing something obvious, but what’s wrong with the following procedure? 1. Don’t go to that page. 2. Profit. ---

You should be able to make adblock plus block only a single page, the same way you would make it block anything else. But, for easier use, try this [addon](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/laankejkbhbdhmipfmgcngdelahlfoji?hc=search&hcp=main). ---

Haha. It wasn’t porn. I’m out of my funk now but I’d still be interested in an answer to the original question just out of curiosity at this point. Edit: It is safe to assume I’m viewing porn at any given time, though.
