Browser extensions vs. casino content
1. Why extensions are needed
Direct denial of access. Even with remote applications and purchase registers, the player easily switches to the web versions of the casino.
Flexible filtering. Extensions allow you to block not only casino sites, but also related ads, streams, betting widgets.
Quick setup. Set a couple of clicks - and the content disappears from the results and news feeds.
2. Key Tools and Capabilities
3. Installation and basic configuration
1. Search and install
- In the browser extension store, find the required plugin, click "Install" and confirm the permissions.
2. Activate standard lists
- In uBlock Origin, enable EasyList and add "Peter Lowe's Ad server list."
- In AdGuard, activate the category "Gambling filters" or "Betting sites."
3. Add custom rules
- Go to My Filters and add lines:
- For video blockers, enter the keywords: casino, slots, poker.
4. Advanced settings
BlockSite Schedule:
Hard mode uBlock Origin:
DNS blacklists (AdGuard):
5. Performance Validation and Support
1. Test runs
- Try to open known casino sites - the page does not load.
2. Log analysis
- In uBlock Origin, click Log and make sure requests to blocked URLs are truncated.
3. Updating filters
- Once a week, go to the filter settings and click the "Update lists" button.
6. Combining with other tools
DNS blocking at the router level (AdGuard Home) + browser extensions = 100% filtering.
Payment filters in the bank + browser block = inability to go to the site and pay.
The BetStop registry or self-exclusion + extensions give multilayer protection.
7. Reliability tips
Password protection of settings: set a complex password or store access to extensions with a trusted person.
Installation on all devices: computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone.
Regular audit: once a month check for new domains and update user lists.
The use of browser extensions is the first and indispensable step to prevent access to online casinos and related content. Flexible customization of filters, schedules and passwords will provide a reliable barrier against flashes of impulse desire to play.
