I installed uBlock origin but that seems to only block ads, but I want to be allowed to go to sites or prevent them working. IE has a list of blocked sites under security settings, I would like something similar but better, that is difficult to change.

LeechBlock seems to work well to block sites either completely or for chosen days and times of day. It shows your home page or other chosen site instead of the sites I block. It was straightforward to configure once installed. I didn't look at the others so I can't compare. Thank you very much.
