How to block 9GAG on Chrome
Why 9GAG is hard to put down
- It's designed for infinite scrolling.
- Every post is quick, so the time adds up invisibly.
- It's easy to open in a spare minute that turns into thirty.
Block 9GAG in four steps
- 1Add ZenTab to Chrome. It's free, and your first 7 days include every Pro feature.
- 2Open the ZenTab dashboard and go to Site Blocker.
- 39GAG is already in the News & forums pack: make sure 9gag.com is switched on. If it isn't listed, type 9gag.com and click Add site.
- 4Open 9gag.com. Instead of the site you'll see ZenTab's calm block page, with your streak and a button to start a focus session.
A site covers its subdomains too, so 9gag.com also blocks every *.9gag.com address. The free plan blocks 10 sites at a time; if you're at the limit, switch off one you need less, or go Pro for unlimited sites.
Smarter ways to limit 9GAG
Honestly, nothing you'll miss during a work session. Blocking everything isn't the only option:

Nuclear mode for deadlines

When you're tempted to unblock it
Most blockers fail in the same moment: you're tired, the urge hits, and switching the block off takes two clicks. ZenTab adds friction exactly there.
- I really need this site: the block page can open 9GAG for a few minutes after a short wait, so a genuine need doesn't turn into an hour.
- Strict Mode (Pro): no quick unlocks, you can add sites but not remove or pause them, and turning it off takes a 15-minute cool-down.
- Commitment lock (Pro): keep Strict Mode on until a date you choose, with no way out early.
