[Suggestion]Block websites (on phone)

Hello all!

Opera is a great webbrowser to use yet there is this one feauture I critically miss and wanted to point out in this thread

It is that my digital wellbeing app can no longer block websites on opera as it could in chrome. On chrome I have a timer on YouTube to prevent myself from doom scrolling.

Because of how opera works digital wellbeing cannot access websites and put a timer on them or block them. For this I require an outside seperate app to download and give permission for me to be able to do that. Yet I don't wish to do that. I would like opera to have a possibility to block specific urls and orwebsites on the phone (not apps just to be specific) instead.

Thanks for reading my thoughts

@leocg Interesting. I would say they just as annoying and do get in between you and the web page. The example there shows a smaller one. Others are not too much bigger, but are still an annoyance, especially when other browsers can be set to not allow them. I hope that this choice can be added to Opera in the future. Browsing doesn't get much better, in my opinion, than on the under recognized Opera browser. It may be things like this that have banking sites and such that suggest, upon loading their sites, to download Chrome, or Firefox. Maybe they view the browser as too easy to manipulate, along with their obvious Fanboy behavior towards these other browsers. There is always room for competition and one of the reasons I use Opera and Vivaldi. Both do a great job at providing a good user experience. But... I lean towards Opera for my everyday more mundane uses and some safer exploring. I hope you can widen the field, so to speak.
In any event thanks for a great Browser.
