I don’t like browser extension blockers: too easy to disable. Also, selection of blockers for Linux is limited. I use hosts file for blocking and a script in crontab that overwrites any changes to this file every 5m:
This makes any hosts edits temporary, and adds just enough friction to fall into unchecked surfing.
I hope someone would make an AI-based internet limiter, I made a prototype some time ago but did not have time to make it actually usable: https://grgv.xyz/blog/awf/
I use a program called plucky that should be available on linux see here it’s very restrictive, you set a timer e.g. 2 hours or 5 days and have to wait that long to edit the rules you set yourself.
Edit: Just saw that the next comment mentions plucky, but they didn’t mention that it’s available for linux...
