[How To] Block websites without using any software

Filed under Computer tricks, Internet tricks, Security Tips, Windows Tricks by on September 13, 2011 at 1:27 am {one comment}

It is easy to block a website on a computer using any software or just by changing the dns server and making few settings but if you don’t want to use any additional software or service then too you can block websites on your Windows machine. All you will require for this is :

  1. A windows machine.
  2. A text editor (notepad will do).
  3. A web browser .

Just follow the steps given below to block a particular website.

  1.  Navigate to the  C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
  2. Find the file named “HOSTS”
  3.  Open it using notepad.
  4.  Under “127.0.0.1 localhost” Add 127.0.0.2 www.orkut.com , and that site will no longer be accessable.
  5. Done!

example :

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 www.orkut.com

- www.orkut.com will not be accessible anymore.

If you want to add more sites then just increment the IP address by one and add it to the list.

i.e. 127.0.0.3 www.yahoo.com
127.0.0.4 www.msn.com
127.0.0.5 www.google.com

You can use this trick to block popup sites as well or any other advertising site.

Enjoy

[How to] Carry your Google Chrome with you everywhere

Filed under Browsers, Computer tricks, Free Softwares, Google Chrome by on September 11, 2011 at 5:49 pm {no comments}

Google Chrome PortableIf you are one of the hardcore Google Chrome fan and you are very much used to it then you will definitely want to carry it with you wherever you go.  Having a portable browser can make your life a lot easier. You can have your favorite bookmarks, your saved passwords and everything else with you at any point of time. You’ll only need to plug in your pen drive and start the browser.

All you have to do is download the compressed file from the link given below and extract it in your removable device. Then go to the folder named PortableGoogleChrome and run the ChromeLoader file to get started. No installation is required so you can use it on computers with limited rights as well.

The browser is having all the features which you get on your regular google chrome but you might see some minor difference in performance which is pretty much acceptable as you are running it from a portable device instead of your hdd. If at any time you feel like uninstalling it then just simply delete the folder and you are done.

You can download the latest version of portable Google Chrome from the link given below and if you want to update your portable browser you can simply go to the same site and download the newer version again.
