How to Use a Website Allowlist

A practical guide to using an allowlist for focused browsing.

An allowlist works best when it represents the websites required for a specific goal.

Keep it task-specific

For writing you might need documents and references; studying may require different resources.

Avoid convenience sites

Start small and add only when necessary.

Review regularly

Remove sites when they stop being relevant.
