Hello,

I've been searching for a solution to block a certain webpages based on their content. The main goal is to block videos with so called 'brainrots' that pop-up on my child's screen. Youtube does not provide data about videos' titile within incoming request, so I would need to scrap the page's content. I could do that, but I need some kind of proxy. Since I found PiHole, I thought maybe I'll drop by and ask, if there is a possibility to do it in an easier way.

Thank you in advance!  
Best regards

The keyword here is "content".

Content is seeing only by the **browser** , so you need to use a **browser extension** to block/filter content.

You'd need a proxy or enterprise-grade firewall to handle this kind of blocking. For home use, I'd try a proxy. Either of these two options, combined with DNS blocking are how schools implement content restrictions.

Using just a browser extension would not be ideal, as it can be disabled/uninstalled locally.
