Do you realize that you are wasting a lot of time on Facebook when you should be doing something else? You may decide to restrict access to Facebook on your computer for you (or your children). This article explains which methods allow you to do this.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Download a Facebook Blocker Program
Step 1. To block Facebook with a specific browser, download Github's Facebook Blocker
Versions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera are available on the site. Facebook Blocker will allow you to block Facebook permanently, or for a certain period or time interval with the specific browser for which you downloaded it.
Step 2. If you are a Mac user, download Self Control
Set the time you want to allow access to websites that are "blacklisted" and add https://facebook.com to the blacklist. This will allow you to block access to the sites included in the list from all your browsers.
Method 2 of 3: Manually Block Facebook with Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer users can block Facebook through their browser settings, but without being able to set any time limit. If you want to use Facebook again, you'll have to manually unblock it, and if you can't control yourself, you may find yourself unblocking it all the time.

You can use the Parental Control feature on Mac to manually block Facebook. You'll have to manually unblock it if you want to use Facebook again, and if you don't have enough self-control, you may soon decide to unblock it permanently.
