About Sprout
Sprout is a small Chrome extension that blocks distracting websites by hostname. One job, done well.
Block a site two ways:
- From the toolbar. Click the Sprout icon, type a hostname like example.com, and hit Add. Any URL pasted in, such as https://www.example.com/some/path, is normalized to the host.
- From any page. Right-click -> "Block this site". Sprout adds the current page's host and immediately redirects the tab to the block page.
Built for focus, not for noise.
- Subdomain matching: adding example.com also blocks news.example.com.
- Your blocklist syncs across the devices where you're signed in to the same Chrome profile, via Chrome's own sync. Sprout never sees your data.
- No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no telemetry, no external requests. Sprout makes zero network calls.
- Open source: full code at github.com/Prisma-Labs-Dev/chrome-site-blocker
Privacy: the only data Sprout stores is the list of hostnames you choose to block. It lives in Chrome's chrome.storage.sync API. It is never transmitted to Prisma Labs or anyone else. Read the full privacy policy at prismalabs.dev/extensions/sprout/privacy
